I have a tool changer which I’ve been running for a couple years. I’ve finally got it really well tuned in terms of tool selection, tool offsets , filament configs, feeding mechanism, etc and have been printing a lot lately. Now I’m starting to hear some sounds related to friction in the bearings, especially in the X axis. The e3d docs lead me to a reference doc for lubricating the bearings https://www.hiwin.com/pdf/lubricating_instructions.pdf but honestly I don’t understand how it’s done. It appears I need a grease gun and special adapter. I dont see anything about the size of the adapter. Is it a standard size? And where do I acquire one? I decided to try lubricating the rail with light oil but that was not helpful. So, how are others lubricating the bearings on your printers with linear guide rails?
