Bearings maintenance
“After ~200 hours of printing, the smooth rods should be cleaned with a paper towel. You can buy a lubricant (any good super lube will do) and apply it onto the smooth rods (XYZ axes).”
I try to follow good advice and keep the printer in good condition. In my case, 200 hours of printing occur at least once a month. It is sufficient to apply a small amount of lubricant to the rod, but for optimal results, it should be spread evenly over the surface of the rod.
When designing the adapter, I used the design of the supplied adapter for LM8UU bearings. I simply shortened it, plugged the holes on three sides and cut a hole for a D8 smooth rod.
I think it works fine, but I'd appreciate your opinion.
