    lubrication

    I have a techno lc4896 and have the grease/oil sheet but wonder if there is any substitutions that can be made. For example the sheet recommends Renolin CLP 100 and I have a bottle of gear oil SAE 75W-90. Are these at all compatible? I have multi-purpose lithium grease that I use for the y-axis ballscrew. Would be nice to have a clearer document for what can be used. Also, it would be great to see some videos of lube maintenance.

    lubricating x axis

    Applying lubricant to the rails inside of the Gantry with an "acid brush" doesn't seem like the most effective solution. Is there a spray lubricant that is suitable for this job? It's hard to know if the rails inside receive enough lube!
