Vertical movement Is loud
When my printer moves across the vertical rods it makes a loud rubbing noise. It is only noticeable when moving quickly, like moving fully up or down with a single command. Is this a problem with lubrication or parts?

Prusa mini. Any suggestion on what kind of lubrication to use on the rods
RE: Vertical movement Is loud
Prusa recommend White Lithium grease.
Other people recommend other greases.
I have used LM2 yellow lithium grease, TF2 White Lithium Grease, Slugslime Precision oil and PrusaLube white lithium grease
on different Prusa Printers with no noticeable difference.
the prusa printer is a low load application, so it is likely that any lube will be beter than no lube...
However the subject of Lube, is a can of worms...
Do not Lube the lead screws. the POM nuts ate supposed to be Lube free...

Check that the two bolts in the trapezoidal nut are NOT over-tightened.
If so loosen them slightly.
