Grease the lead screws?
Hi everyone, hi Jakub,
I wonder if I have to put grease on the lead screw/trapezoidal nuts? Or oil? Is it OK to run them dry - or even better? I cannot remember having read anything about that in the assembly instruction or the printing manual.
Good advise needed. (As my Z axis moves loudly when it moves fast)
Best regards,

What kind of oil do you use ?
I'd like to oil my leadscrews as well but I'm lost with oil/grease type...
