Making linear guides is a complex process that usually requires professional manufacturers or machining companies. The following are the general steps for making linear guides: 1. Design and planning: Design the structure, size and material selection of the guide rail according to the needs and application scenarios. Consider load requirements, accuracy requirements, speed requirements and other factors to determine the parameters of the guide rail. 2. Material selection: Choose suitable guide rail materials. Common choices include steel, aluminum alloy and other metal materials, as well as special high-performance plastic materials. 3. Material processing: Use processing equipment (such as CNC machine tools) and tools to perform cutting, milling, grinding, drilling and other processing procedures on the selected material to process the material into the shape and size of the guide rail. 4. Heat treatment: Heat treatment is performed on the guide rail material, such as quenching, tempering, etc., to increase the hardness and wear resistance of the guide rail. 5. Surface treatment: Surface treatment of the guide rails, such as grinding, polishing, electroplating, etc., to improve the surface smoothness and corrosion resistance of the guide rails. 6. Assembly and debugging: Assemble the processed guide rail, including installing slide blocks, balls, guide rail seats and other accessories. Conduct debugging and testing to ensure that the guide rails run smoothly and the accuracy meets standards. 7. Lubrication and protection: Provide proper lubrication to guide rails to reduce friction and wear. Take protective measures, such as sealing and covering, to prevent contaminants from entering the guide rail. It should be noted that for complex and high-precision linear guides, the manufacturing process may be more complicated and require the use of more sophisticated equipment and processes. Therefore, for most applications, purchasing off-the-shelf linear guides or entrusting the fabrication to a professional manufacturer are the more common and feasible options.

The role of linear guides in 3D printers is mainly to support and guide the movement of the print head, thereby ensuring the accuracy and speed of 3D printing. In FDM 3D printers, linear guides are mainly used to support and guide the movement of the print head. By selecting appropriate linear guides, the stability and accuracy of the print head can be ensured, thereby improving printing quality and efficiency. In addition, the selection and installation of linear guides can also be optimized according to different printing materials and print heads to meet different printing needs. In short, the role of linear guides in 3D printers plays a vital role in achieving high-precision printing effects. ​

Linear guide manufacturers teach you how to maintain linear guides First of all, linear guide maintenance is divided into maintenance before and after installation of linear guide rails. However, in actual applications, many users of linear guide rails do not know how to maintain linear guide rails. Steel balls often fall out and end caps explode. Phenomenon. Users of linear guides usually install the linear guide directly on the equipment. The linear guide slider is like a human face. If it is not taken care of in time, it will become rough. If the linear guide slider is not filled with oil, it will become dry. Movement on the guide rail will increase the friction and make it not smooth. Over time, it will be prone to damage. The linear guide manufacturer teaches you the solution, which is to refuel the linear guide slider before installation. The method of refueling the linear guide slider is very simple: After the linear guide rail is installed, use an oil gun to inject it through the oil nozzle at least three times. After the first injection, push the linear guide slider away for a while and then inject the second time, and so on. When refueling the linear guide slider, follow the instructions. Choose different greases for different usage situations. Including linear guide oil, linear guide dual-purpose oil and linear guide grease. In some machines with harsh operating environments, the linear guide rails are larger and have a simple structure. They are designed to use linear guide rail grease. Most of them use manual grease gun squeeze-type oiling. Generally, oiling is required once every 500 kilometers. ​
