"Self lubricating" is code for "material lost to wear acts as a sort of lubricant".

Something most don't know about stepper motors: Inside them is a spring-washer type pre-tensioner, it preloads the motor and keeps it from rattling if you shake it, guess what side it's usually on though? The bottom(bushing upwards when used in the z-axis like this), your gantry weight might be sufficient to deflect this spring and cause irregularities if things are heavy enough. You can tell by watching the coupler while giving it a little push down against. Your thrust bearing is probably fixing this. On mine I took the motor apart and relocated the spring to the top so it pushes downwards instead, resulting is a notably more stable Z-reference.

This is one of the best produced 3d printing videos I have ever seen. Engaging at every segment.

I rarely leave comments. This was one of the best videos out there. I wish more internet was like this. Subscribed. Very informative. Keep up the good work.

wow, really deep dive in the subject. Will remember this if I get any problem. Just built Z axis on my Voron Trident. It has three lead screws, tripple the fun!! :) but noticed they recommend to not tighten the lead screw nuts fully but leave them a little loose so everything can flex some.
