Topic: Should the rails be oiled now and then

Should the cylindrical rails in a 3D printer be oiled now and then? And if so with what sort of oil?

That is not my printer by the way, I don't have it with me, but you get the idea...

TIA Owen

very little machine oil. You don't want it attracting and collecting dust.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
