Well, in the manual it just says oil ball nut and that doesnt do anything for me.
what would next steps be? any guesses?
Please let us know about this at support@carbide3d.com and we will do our best to work through this with you.

Emailed yah, thank you
What do you have going on with your stepper there?
It’s a clearpath servo with silicone on it to prevent coolant ingress

Hey Matt do you think a grease nipple could be added to the port and it be accessible with the Z axis installed if there were an access hole drilled somewhere?
I can’t make out where the port is on the video.

I don’t see a port on my ball nuts to put oil in.
Is it under the ball nut mount?
it looks like there is a threaded hole on the round section of the flange that should have a grub screw where you can fill it with a syringe.
Axiom maintenance video shows how they engineered easy access grease points that I hope Carbide implements one day.

glad it helped clear the debris from the bearing. Is there enough room for a grease fitting to be installed and used so a tubing setup could be installed to remotely oil the bearings like the Dmc 2 uses?
5 minutes 15 seconds in shows what I am hoping will work.

That’s interesting, I think the fit is loose for some reason.
The fit? That’s not really a thing
I’ll definitely be doing this, gotta finish some parts but it’ll get the works once I’m done.
