Missing steps in the kit manual?
I've been looking over the manual for the Core One and noted that the z rod bearings are not lubed before assembly like previous printers. Is this step missing?
RE: Missing steps in the kit manual?
Just noticed the same for the y axis bearings, maybe they're shipped pre-lubed?
RE: Missing steps in the kit manual?
AFAIK the rod bearings come pre-lubed since the MK4S.

That's good to know, thanks. It does mean the need to account for a MK4 converted to a MK4S now being converted to Core One. Either new bearings or a possible need of a lube kit may be needed.
RE: Missing steps in the kit manual?
There is a step to lube the bearings during the MK4 assembly, using a printed applicator. The recycled bearings are then already lubed when you do the MK4S upgrade. Same thing for the conversion to CORE One, the same bearings are used, so they were lubed by you during the MK4 assembly. 😉
But for sure in either case it is always good to have some lubricant for preventive periodic maintenance.
