I used my printer for maybe a couple hundred hours of print time without greasing/lubing the bearings and now they sound awful, so I'm just gonna replace all of them.

What bearings and grease should I order?

When replacing bearings in your 3D printer, it's important to choose the correct type and size for your specific printer model. Most common 3D printers use linear ball bearings. You can check your printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer to determine the exact specifications.

As for the grease/lubricant, it's recommended to use a light machine oil or a silicone-based lubricant for 3D printer bearings. Avoid using heavy greases or WD-40 as they may attract dust and debris. Some commonly used lubricants for 3D printer bearings include Super Lube, Tri-Flow, and PTFE lubricants.

To ensure smooth operation, make sure to clean the bearing housings before applying any lubricant, and apply a thin coat to the bearing surfaces.
