285 Days Of 3D Printing Without A Service

How much wear does a 3D printer actually accumulate after 7,000 hours of printing without a single service? In this video I tear down my Original Prusa XL after more than 7,000 hours of printing to find out. We'll inspect the belts, idlers, bearings, gears, nozzle, and other critical components to see what held up surprisingly well, what needs replacing, and whether regular maintenance is really as important as everyone says. Whether you own a Prusa XL or any other FDM printer, many of the maintenance checks and tips in this video apply to almost every machine.
