I think the bearings in one of them are shot. Becarefull with WD40 though as some people say it attacks ABS and some say it is ok so just be carefull. They recommend other lubes so look what they recommend.

Try squirting a little WD40 into the axle of the pulley (just a tiny amount) and see if the noise goes away.

To me it seemed like it was from the y-axis, and the shafts seems to have lubrication, and I have also only printed a handful of parts.

]]> https://www.soliforum.com/user/2867/ 2013-08-19T09:50:09Z https://www.soliforum.com/post/33500/#p33500 I searched and found a few things that mine matches, squeaking on the X-axis, but.. no one seems to have a solution?  And my printer has only printed a handful of parts, it's barely made a dent in the first spool.

]]> https://www.soliforum.com/user/2694/ 2013-08-19T09:11:03Z https://www.soliforum.com/post/33495/#p33495 try searching for "squeaking". I don't know if it is "normal" but I know that others have reported it.

]]> https://www.soliforum.com/user/1906/ 2013-08-19T04:23:35Z https://www.soliforum.com/post/33483/#p33483 While I'm printing something, my SD2 seems to be making a squeaking noise, like metal on metal or something.  Is this normal?  It's not impacting the print, it just.. I dunno.  The bushings on the smooth shafts seem to have lubrication.
