I bought this to repair my resin 3D printer. The Z-axis threaded rod did not move. After applying about half a teaspoon of this lube, the shaft started working again. However; I didn't see how big these tubes were when I made my rush purchase. Now I have far more than I will ever need. Pretty good. It works fine now I have a supplement. If you have a 3D printer, I advise you to get it. Eventually you will need it. My only complaint is how difficult it is to poke a hole in the top of the tube.
