Lm8uu
Posted by saryn2
Hi, I use Igus polymer bearings. I also own some quality SFK linear ball bearings ($12/each, one of the best equivalent of the chinese LM8UU). The SFK are great, but the polymer bearings are less expensive, more quiet, and works just fine. I don't know what brand Lulzbot resells, but the Igus can be bought directly on their website.

Collective intelligence emerges when a group of people work together effectively. Prusa i3 Folger (A lot of the parts are wrong, boring !)

Which particular Igus bearings did you get? I get bombarded with a choice of about 30 different materials whenever I try to find anything on their site!
Can you send me links? Thanks!Quote

Currently building my first 3d printer a Prusa i3.
No I did not put grease on the bearings before installing them. It is not in Printing stages yet and wasn't when they rusted. Does it matter it wasn't running? Sorry for the question this is my first build.Quote

Did you put some grease inside off it before instaling the bearing ?

Igus polymer bearings, note : ext. diameter is 16mm (LM8UU are 15mm)
