metal rods are scratched
hi!
my printer began to do poor quality and stayed in the eye of the metal rods deep scratches. the bed scratches were the deepest. I take off the bed and lubricate the bearings inside, but now the bed is moving hard. i need to buy new rods, but what kind of steel? do these types of bearings are good?

Re: metal rods are scratched
you need to check if your rods are a stainless alloy (they should not be). It is possible you were mistakenly shipped the wrong kind with your printer. the proper kind are steel that has been hardened and ground and they are available from Prusa, perhaps even under warranty. A magnet will be strongly attracted to the proper rods but only mildly attracted to the wrong kind.
