Z-axis lead screws are used to drive the heatbed up and down. The three Z-axis lead screws require regular greasing to ensure smooth operation.
It is recommended to check and lubricate the lead screws every three months. You can use the BX-300/F series grease in the link, but other lubrication alternatives can be used.
A popular lubricant is Super Lube 92003 Silicone Lubricating Grease with PTFE or Lucas Oil 10533 White Lithium Grease which should work similarly.
