Very Loud Noise From X Axis - Video Included

Just finished assembling my MK2S! Very excited for it.

Once I ran the XYZ calibration process, I noticed that the X axis seems to be very loud. Perhaps there is some friction somewhere that I cannot identify. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Thank you!!

Put some silicone lubricant on a cloth, wipe it all over the rods on the X, Y and Z axis. After a short while the lubricant should get past the bearing seals and help reduce the noise. A spray can of silicone lubricant can be purchased from Ebay or Amazon

Another solution is to check the bolts and (mainly) the nuts that hold the belts' pulleys in place (X and Y).
