Does the glowforge ever need lube or oil?

Do the rails or any other part even need lubricant or oils? I looked around and didn’t see anything.

Nope!

I’m glad you asked because I was curious myself. My left side rail looks like it has lube, but it’s just compacted vaporized residue

Ok thankfully I’m not the only one.

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

Thanks for the answer @ eflyguy , that’s right. Everything you need to know about regular maintenance is outlined in our support pages for cleaning. I’m going to close this thread for now - if any other questions arise, go ahead and post a new topic.
