LUBRICATE BEARINGS A lubrication film is required to ensure BMG Idler Assembly smooth operation and longevity. Refer to the Voron sourcing guide lubricant options - look for a “light grease”. MIND ORIENTATION Make sure to orient the idler assembly as shown above.

WWW.VORONDESIGN.COM GUIDLER ARM A NOTE ON SPRINGS Longer/shorter/stiffer springs will change the tension characteristics and have an impact on how well the tension mechanism works. Consider buying the original Bondtech part as those are known to work well. If sourced from a different vendor check if it’s roughly 12mm long with an outer diameter of 6mm and a wire thickness of 1mm.
