Y-Axis Bearing Maintenance

#3dprinting #prusa #maintenance
I recently purchased a Fysetc Prusa MK3S clone and forgot to grease the bearings while I was assembling it. In this video, I pack the Y-Axis LM8 bearings with grease with as little disassembly as possible.

I just use 10W30 motor oil. No grease.

I debated about using an oil instead of grease, so I did some research. What I found is that it's largely preference, since they both have their pros and cons. Upon the recommendation of a couple of "information repositories" I trust, I decided to use the Super Lube No. 21030. We'll see how it holds up.

@@CSWilsonPrints I have used oil for over 20 years and still have the same bearings and rods. It is also very easy to keep clean. Only need a couple drops after a couple hours of use.
