I just learned, that LDO included mounting bars for the linear rails, which seem to be much better than the default roll-in nuts.

However, in contrast to the roll-in nuts, the mounting bars have to be installed _before_ mounting the extrusions. Unfortunately, this is not documented in the LDO notes for the kit.

Well, since "practice" means doing something over and over again...

Yay, it's already time for some linear rails!

Here is how extrusions are made:

As you can see it's not a super accurate process. This is why it's not recommended to screw on linear rails and why some companies offer a machining service to make a flat surface. Another common practice is to let customers discover over-wrapped/twisted extrusions and then help via support.

I'm learning about 3D printing! My printer needs to be lubricated. It has linear rails.

I didn't know that linear rails had ball bearings supporting them.

That is awesome.

This video is about how to lubricate linear rails common in 3D printers, but it contains great views of the ball bearings in the linear rail, which I thought was super awesome to see. News to me, and now I totally understand the lubrication process for linear rails a lot more.
