Rough HG15 linear rails
I am assembling my vcore 4. I am preparing the HG15 z rails, however two out of three of the rails are rough throughout their full range of motion. I've tried to demonstrate this in the video.
I have disassembled the rails and confirmed each has the correct number of ball bearings in all four channels. The ball bearings themselves all move smoothly in their channels.
I have applied three in one oil directly to the ball bearings, loosened end caps and tapped with a mallet, as per troubleshooting steps.
They don't fully bind at any point when pressure is applied, but are noisier and rougher in motion than the smooth rail, which feels very smooth.
Given they are z axis and slow moving, my feeling is that they will probably be ok. But I just wanted to check before proceeding further to see if anyone can offer advice including whether I should get in touch with Rat Rig.
Thanks
