How often should such a thing be done?

Not so much maintenance, but the 3rd thing I printed out was new bearing mounts when the old ones break.

Abolutley, couldn't agree more !
This should be the 1st thing everyone with a Da Vinci prints, IMO.
Sooner or later the stock mounts WILL break.
Those ones are the strongest 3d printable ones I've tried. Far stronger than the stock mounts.

I'm asking this because I saw a post by lachupacabra about greasing the x-axis, and I realized that I have no current PM schedule.

Thanks in advance!
