    Also, any suggestions on what type of grease I should pack my bearings with? For the end supports and also, periodic lubrication of the ballscrews? I am thinking of using standard automotive grease for the end supports.

    I used the green lube from canadian tire, and 3in1 on the screw itself.

    Mobilux EP1on the ballscrew. Not sure what you mean by "periodical", as they need to be greased regularly, especially if they get dusty. The autolube on our Morbidelli greases the ballscrews every 3 hours of runtime.

    The support bearings can probably use anything, and it will last forever.

    Re: Ballscrew Suppliers - Opinions on Quality and Service Needed

    Thank you for this thread NIC. I have been hunting for parts for a few weeks now. What is funny is that this thread was one of the first to come across. Now, I am back again to it as I think it is one of the best reviews. Most probably I will go with BST also. I will try to share my experience and hopefully make a thread in the future when I start my build. I live in nowhere and shipping takes months to arrive so it might take me some time.
