    Hi Harry,

    I think it is, not a 100% sure but it is squeaking a lot.

    I was wondering if I should lubricate the rods, slide rail, etc. How and what kind of lubricant.

    For the records, its been almost a month since I got my printer and I have using the printer every single day, at least 8 hours a day (learning curve). I will write mi considerations on the forum when I complete 1 month with the printers, there still a lot of questions and lessons I learned.

    cheers

    Hi PC,

    3 in 1 oil is a great lubricant for the machine. We actually are looking at sourcing packets to include in the packages moving forward. Thank you and let me know if you have any more questions.
