Do you happen to know, or anyone for that matter, what these bearings are? Are they simply 608zz type and the 8mm smooth rods go into them? If they are 608s I would open it up and replace them with better bearings as I have purchased a lot of them from China and some are so-so to down right garbage but my step son was using 608s ABEC 5 on his skateboards growing up as a teenager (he would spend all day skateboarding many days of the week back then at skateboard parks, etc...) and those things would last in a printer for a decade I think, lol.

Lol, I always thought you were a guy.
Best lube I have found is Mystic Lubes Green No2 thinned with a little 3n1 oil. I agree on the Superlube, I think it is too thick. It might work if you can pack the bearings, but still I like the lighter grease, and it isn't as sticky.

Definitely, I have heard good things about Mystic and it has been on my radar. I was thinking about getting something like that if the sewing machine oil didn't work out but I'm just about to start a 20 hour print and further test it.
Haha, the hands are not mine per my verbiage - "With some assistance". For some reason I couldn't keep the camera steady and the syringe on the bearing at the same time and needed a "helping hand" to take these photos properly and illustrate the oiling locations.
Definitely, a 1 1/2 hour print just finished and it sounded great.
I hope it helps others as I know it helped my ears/sanity and I'm just about to start another 20 hour print which will definitely put a test to it. Yesterday at this time I wouldn't even think of starting a 20 hour print with that creaking for the noise it makes and the amount of worry I had if something seized.

The bearings that were being lubed was not linear as I saw the video and that spot turns in a circular motion so they would have to be axial bearings. If they used LM8UU in that spot then there is the issue.

Hi Guys,
Anyone has any clue why there is so much stringing in my print. I print PLA at 220C with 40C bed temps. Thanks.

Also thanks to cncartist for offering to design the clips for me. Very nice of you.
But I found this site tinkerCAD where it is very easy to modify models. I am currently working on the clips. Very exciting! My first design, well not my design but modification of design

Retraction would be my bet as in not enough especially with the blobbing I am seeing as well. Increase the distance and increase the speed as well.
edit: Two posts I have used on and off for a while now I think people should bookmark is http://support.3dverkstan.se/article...shooting-guide and https://all3dp.com/common-3d-printin...eir-solutions/
The first link I have used for a couple of years now and the second for a few months and both are darn good at showing you a problem then telling you what needs to be fixed.Last edited by DarkAlchemist; 04-20-2016 at 12:18 AM.
