I’m in the market for my first non-resin printer and the 3 pro seems pretty popular. The 4’s are now out and available and I was wondering what the community verdict on them is?

    Its not bad to take apart rods and bearings, clean and relube, but its usually enough to just drop tiny amount of oil on rods and just move your axis back and forth. I do it once a month

      Technically, you’re supposed to pack bearings with grease before installation (put grease inside bearing, plug opposite end with thumb and shove steel rod into the open side), but cheap printer manufacturers rarely do it, so that would be the first thing to do after you get the sv06. After that, your lubrication method is sufficient. But it is still better to repack bearings after a while and clean the rods.
