After printing for months at a time, your printer will have parts that are loosened and degraded. These tips will help to reduce mechanical failures on your machine and increase the quality of your prints.
Keep in mind that this printer, including all upgrades, cost under $500 total, and is the one used for all of the prints in the "Print Everything" series. You can watch all of the videos in the "How To" playlist to see how it was built, and what was replaced.
