Do any common condiments work? Like ketchup or BBQ sauce? Relish may work because of its slippery properties. Please try relish for me and let me know how it works. Thank you.

I don’t have any relish but I can try one of the others if you would like.

This idea of using magnets instead of lube to make a bearing responsive is kinda blowing my mind 🤯
Since the Alu would not respond to magnets but the steel bearing obviously would.

This is how the magnet works on the bearing. More powerful is the magnet more unresponse will be the bearing.
Consider this bearing is a stainless one, a normal bearing is even more magnetizable.
It’s an interestign alternative to lube for 2A, but need some work and a lots of tests.
