Also got it belted up, but found out afterwards that I used a grease that is controversial on the rails (superlube with syncolor). It's recommended by LDO and Nero3D uses it in his video, but many folks on the Voron Discourse say it's a no-go. I'd rather not risk it, so I'm uninstalling the rails, cleaning/degreasing them, and reapplying some white lithium grease.

Thanks for the tips!

For the z-rails, how high are we talking? Manual is 3mm and that's what I stuck with initially, but I've got the rails off to clean and degrease/regrease then right now, so now's as good a time as any

I'm currently at about 6mm. It does leave a gap, but it's really not noticeable if you're not at a super low angle and it makes installing the covers so much easier

Cool cool. I printed a shim to get the right height, I'll just make it a bit taller. Thanks again

If you have the printed parts already you can try installing one now to see how it goes, especially if you have the gantry off right now.
