Extended Greaser with cap for LMU8 and LMU12 bearings

thingiverse

So... I'm looking to get a little help with some grease and wanted to be able to apply it while the bearings are still mounted to their respective parts of the printer. To do this, just disassemble as little as possible, remove the rod, and then grease away. However, the grease tube is always in the way or the bearing is somehow blocked, making it impossible for the tool to reach far enough. This is my first attempt at solving this problem, and I'm hoping it will extend far enough and be thin enough to reach all bearings on my MK3 (especially the lower X-axis bearing and the Y-axis bearings) without having to disassemble everything. This has an M14x1.5 threading and will fit a 3oz. Super Lube tube. Now with a cap... I've also made some changes to the inner diameters. In the main part, it's bigger, and in the top part, it's smaller. I'm hoping this will give me a more stable upper part. The top diameter was also tweaked a bit. If you downloaded a previous version, please re-download the files. Another problem-solver is right here: Grease extension with a 45° angle to get the tube out of the way.

Update 2019-01-11: LMU12 Version added on request. Make sure you use the v2 cap.
