I buy one pound spools, so this system is better for me:
In my garage I have a double stack Hakko unit with two different gauge spools on it,

Great! Thanks. I will order some.
This, as it stays attached to the surfaces for a lot longer.
Exactly the same products I use, for what that's worth.
Of course I print much less volume than you, so use them less often.

I haven’t been printing as much as as like to due to ongoing vision issues. It’s one reason my CNC machine is still in bits. 
Boo! 
Sorry to hear that.

Thanks mate, looks like I’ll need more surgery, but I think it is fixable.

I keep pestering him to make a Hubitat plus printers video. Maybe one day.
This caught my eye on the SV06 FB group:
Although there is this 
:
I found the motor with the new controller ran hot. There are a million and one TMC settings which I assume need tuning but I don't know what they are. If someone does, please let me know.
Been looking at linear bearings for the sovol sv06 plus but there are way to many manufacturers out there and I don't know which one, by what manufacturer, I should get.
So if anyone has replaced the bearings in this printer I would appreciate any info on which bearings you replaced the original ones with. The part number I am seeing in the parts list is LM10UU. TIA

The first question I would ask is what problem are you wanting to solve?
Upgrading to linear bearings is more involved than it first appears - it changes your Y-offset for your nozzle and has a few other potential flow on effects.
Im not saying to not do it, I modded my Mega Zero to be all linear rails and do think it is worthwhile, but you need to be aware of the impacts. You also need to figure out the appropriate size for your printer, eg MGN9 vs MGN12 - the number is the width of the rail in millimetres and MGN is the carriage type.
Re suppliers, I dont think it matters too much, just look for listings on AliExpress with a lot of sales and you should be fine.
EDIT: I just took another look at the printer design, TBH I wouldnt bother upgrading to linear rails, it's already using linear rods and there isnt a significant reason to upgrade them IME.
The y-axis bearings are quite squeaky and are notorious. I have watched the videos for changing the bearings and there are 11 of them. I have tried the Lucas grease you suggested and the y-axis still squeaks, not because of your suggestion or the grease, sometimes even shuttering as to jumping on the rods instead of a smooth back and forth. Hard to explain. I think the bearings are just poor quality.
I will go to AliExpress, never been there, and look for the bearings. Thanks for the suggestions.

Fair enough, just replacing the linear bearings with new ones is likely your simplest and most affordable option.
Like @rcjordan i use PayPal to keep my card details safe.
