Squeaky bearings when starting a print?
-
Is this normal? It has been happening for the past few days... I'll get a video on this later when it's not in the middle of a 27H print Otherwise, everything seems fine so far. I read online in some random places to try using sewing machine oil on the rods etc but I'm not too familiar on this. Any recommendations you guys might have?
Thank you!

@cestlasara We usually use white lithium grease for our metal mechanical components. If you want, send a short video to support@matterhackers.com and we can give you more direction.

Woops, sorry about my lack of follow up -
For now I used some WD40 and this resolved my issue. I'll keep monitoring this Thank you!

@cestlasara WD40 will work, but it may attract a lot of dust grit and residue which may make track rough over time. The best solution is the lithium grease.
