A tiny amount of 3 in 1 oil on the two vertical shafts and the screw shaft of the bed helps.

Hi Everyone,
I have been using the paper method to level my bed. THis was working fine up until recently. My printer is printing but Ive been less than satisfied with print quality lately and notice i have certain sides struggling to stick at times. I have just leveled again and got decent test results with a circle print around bed. The issue now is my printer is making this horendous noise when raising and lowering the bed. I mean i dont know how to describe it. Grinding/howling. Pretty much sounds like something is dying. Any ideas? Is it that its off level too much? If I kind of give the bed a little light push as its moving in a certain direction the noise quiets down. Thanks everyone.

Try tightening the grub screws in the motor coupler that connects the motor shaft to the Z screw. They tend to work loose the slips.
