They will do fine, and you could even use sewing machine oil on the bearings, I use the Tamiya stuff because I run alot of R/C cars so it's something I always have handy, we're only talking a few drops here and there so it will last some time. The Tamiya ones have a needle like tip, so it's a bit easier to apply. That grease is pretty awesome too, it has Teflon in it, it's really resistant to heat (not that the Z shaft spins all that fast) but more is better than less yeah ?

That is the same block as the flashforge, so yeah will work fine - def much cheaper than getting one buy buying a new extruder set (did that stupidly once.. never again...)

well the new alu bar arrived yesterday, and as though was missing the holes for the grub nuts that hold the nozzles in place, so after a few emails (kolobus customer service is very good and helpful), i decided to keep it and try and get it drilled and threeded myself.
1 phone call later to a friend who works in metal work fabrication and the job was set for today. while waiting and not being able to print jack i upgraded the firmware to 7.7 sailfish
so today after work i took the old alu and new alu bar to my mate who as expected knew exactly the right size, 20 mins later (i think he got a call mid job) and my new alu bar was gtg (good to go), while there i asked if it was possible to use steel or something stronger than alu, was told it can be fabricated in any metal, so there a future idea, how often do these parts die????
so im now home and after much fustration, the holes are drilled on the reverse, meaning the nozzle adjustment now requires a strip down, but they are a better fit as there is more metal to screw into.
just finished a test block, and lefty is working fine (love the little noise to tell you its finished).
now on the righty. Prints perfect as well.
now to test dual extrusion (something i have not been able to try due to unlevel head)
geoff wtf is the new end of build screen trying to tell me, before i just got time. now it displays
time : 0h 12m (i know what that is)
filament : 0.6982m (??????)
(cannot print copy) (?????)
-> main menu
