Title: Success.......... Z3100 belt replacement
Post by: tektrader on July 20, 2015, 02:41:19 am

Well, It took 4 hours and wasn't particularly hard just tedious.

Now back to working like a champ, I did have a question. What lube is used of the rail? The HP version is $100 Holy crap it isn't gold.

I put some silicon lube on it for the time being but want to get a synthetic oil as they specified.

Ideas?

search oil there and you get my recommendation Nye Hobby Lubrication Kit, the lightest oil has the same specs HP prescribes and that is about a Nye oil too. If to be ordered in the EU, check Micro-Tools.de in Germany.

edit, the Micro-Tools link was not correct.

Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

Thanks Ernst, Spoke too soon  I had an MY print head go down soon after I put it back together. Lucky I had a new one. All is good now.

I am going to order the oil off Ebay. Shouldn't take too long to get here.

 ;D

Think I may try to find a used 44 inch Z3200, This machine isn't as scary as it looks.....
