Please don't hi-jack threads and take them off topic.. it makes using the search function very difficult and doesn't help get your, or the original posters concerns addressed.
Reading through the PDF I wanted to mention that in the section where you are instructed how to re-tighten a loose Y-Belt that it should be noted it's possible to over-tighten this and cause damage to the gears of the Y motor pack... I speak this from experience !
The article mentions 4 approved lubricants for the guide posts and lead screws and none of them are the lithium grease which was recommended in the head pressure PDF... is this a change that replaces previous recommendations?
