To avoid taking it apart, I just sprayed some on a paper plate, folded a post-it in half, and grabbed a fingernail sized amount of grease and slipped the post it in between the black plastic and the white part. Try to avoid getting it on the belt. Make sure you get grease that is plastic safe, definitely no silicone, and do a few tiny test spots on the bare plastic to make sure it doesn't eat away at the parts

I am interested as I should also lubricate my assembly.

hope this helps!

I read somewhere else that someone used it for the z-axis shaft. The directions say to spray a test on plastic parts to see if it will or will not eat away at the plastic, but I'm hesitant because it it is such a small part. Any advice?

Also, dumb question: can I spray it from the outside on the shaft? Or do I need to take it apart to spray somewhere specific?

Does something need to be greased? Or do I have to tighten a belt? Level the bed again?! Please help
