Buy grease for the 3D printers. #1937

The previous one we had is Euro Lubricants Grease CS-2/103-S

Eurol don't seem to supply the UK. Ultimaker maintenance kits on 3DGBIRE contain Magnalube, plus Griffon Unilube (like 3-in-1 oil).
Magnalube is available on eBay and described as a Teflon grease. The Eurol one looks as though it's copper sulphonate, so maybe we'd have to clean that off first before applying new grease. Does anyone with their own 3D printers have any views? (@huffeec, @Robotorium , @magman2112, @Sean-anotherone )

If this is for the leadscrews, just about any lubricant that "dries" would work fine - like the ptfe/teflon version of WD40 - GT85?? As long as it does not leave a sticky/greasy residue but lubricates, should sork fine. Sean
