To keep your Ultimaker S-line printer in optimal condition we recommend the following maintenance schedule, based on 1,500 printing hours per year:
| Every month | Every 3 months | Every year |
| Clean the printer (1) | Check for play on the axles | Lubricate the feeder gear |
| Lubricate the axles (2) | Check tension of short belts | Replace the Bowden tubes |
| Check for debris in front fan of print head | Clean system fans | |
| Check quality of nozzle cover (1) | Lubricate hinges | |
| Lubricate lead screw Z motor | ||
| Clean the feeders | ||
| Clean the print cores (1) |
(1) If you use a CC print core the maintenance frequency and actions will be slightly different. Please look at the CC print core maintenance page for more information.
(2) The X, Y and Z axles do not need lubrication for the first year of using the printer. After this, they should be lubricated monthly.
Tip: If the usage frequency is higher, we recommend performing more frequent maintenance on your printer to ensure optimal printing results.
