Everything is great, except for this extruder noise. Any advice?
I originally had some loud noise on the Y axis but it has settled in and is pretty quiet now. Not as quiet as the Ender 3 I've spent the last few months modding and dialing in, but it's printing quality beyond what the Ender 3 is doing and with far less effort.
I am however getting some "squeaking" that appears to be coming from the bondtech gears, but I'm not completely sure how to mitigate it. Here's a video illustrating it:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

Seems this is normal: filament moving past the PTFE is making noise as the PTFE is polished. The MK3S design has a noticable offset in the gears and this causes filament to rub on the top of the PTFE just below the gears. Some owners have reported it will go away on its own.

Ok thanks for the insight. I'm hoping it'll go away(I'm maybe ~30-35 print hours in so far) on its own.

Does all MK3s users have this problem?
I have the same issue, but I was able to reduce the noise a bit though losing the screw of the bondtech gear hatch a bit.
