Squealing Y Axis

I just got my mini a little under a month ago and have printed about 100 hours on it.

Yesterday I heard a repeating squeal whenever the bed moved forward, so I cleaned the smooth rods with IPA then used the included lube and everything seemed to be fine again, for about four hours.  I repeated the process, but this time the squealing didn't go away at all.

I also tightened the grub screws to no avail

Any advice?

See this thread but be careful about over correcting or you'll cause a layer shift.

Hi,

my I3 MK3S squeaked for the first three days and then fell silent. Now that makes me nervous 🙂
