Smartrap update #1

Got the x,z, and extruder motors mounted.

I have managed to get the linear bearings running very smoothly thanks to the suggestion to pack them full of lithium grease. They are all very smooth now.

I also took out the common wires and pins from the motors.

More to come very soon!

I planned to mount one. Everything is ready to be mounted.
Have you had any trouble yet?

@Dominique_Vienne no problems so far. Bearings seem to fit perfectly and everything is lining up really well.

The only issue I’ve had is with the bearings I bought. They weren’t the smoothest but that got fixed.

My only concern is that because nothing is holding the bearings on top they might start to get loose and slide.

@Mark_Rehorst they felt very unsmooth and you had to use a little force to move them along. They also locked up a little bit before. Now they move buttery smooth with no problems. The lithium grease is definitely superior to oil as I tried that beforehand.
