===== greasing the leadscrews =====

----

**__Important notes:__ **

  - The X-axis and the Z-axis leadscrews are easily accessible, applying some grease is easily done there.
  - Before putting grease on the leadscrews, make sure they are absolutely clean. Use a soft dry cloth to clean them.
  - The Y-axis leadscrew sits under the engraving table and under a metal cover, both of which will have to be removed to get acces to them.\\
