So these are shots of the setup for the lube system. Waiting on more parts to arrive, and can’t complete this until drag chains are in place

Y axis right threading through tube to get to the distribution point

X axis ballscrew
Distribution Manifold. These are 8mm x 4mm lines compression fitting with valves that are adjustable with thumbscrews for delivery
Nice, i have been thinking of something like this but dismissed it because id be afraid of over doing it on the lube and flooding it. If overflowing isn’t good for your vehicle, it can’t be good for a cnc either.
Now I have to do some unrelated routine maintenance on my machine 
Going to go manual pump in the beginning. I agree that a scheduled delivery by an automatic system may be overkill, but on the other hand. One pump and your done sounds pretty good.
Looking on Aliexpress, electric pumps can be had cheaper than manual pumps from Amazon. Then again, manual pumps from AliX are obviously even less.
Found a simple looking kit with manifolds, tubing, some assorted fittings and a 110v pump for about $40.
Explored Aliexpress, looks to be the same as Amazon, with the exception of those really low prices and long lead times.
Delivery time is hit on miss on some items. I’ve had stuff show up in 3 days. And recently some network resistors took 2 months.
