Lubricating Idler pulley of X-axis?

How exactly to lubricate this?

How to do: Near the X-axis end cover, drop an appropriate amount of clear oil between the belt and the idler pulley.


Is this guide correct?
I’m not comfortable with oil on the belt :slight_smile: and wasn’t able to find any guide with pictures or video :frowning:

Same recommendation for the X1 if the belt is squeking at the idlers. Not recommended if there is no squeking, but yeah, I had to do it. No belt binding as of now (~1,500h after starting having to oil the idlers).

A1 wiki: “Every 3 months”. I never lubricated this, but there is some rubber like noise I have yet to determine the source of :slight_smile:

That could very well be the idlers.

Resolved noise problem, it was the Y axis belt.
I would really like to lubricate also the mentioned X axis pulley.
Any more info about that in the forum?
Maybe it would be ok to open a ticket for this?
