Bed very difficult to move suddenly
Using a MK3S.
I completed a print and started another one by my homing failed. The bed is extremely difficult to move even without power. No screeching noise like it has a bad bearing. I don't see any physical blockage in the carriage. Any ideas?

Sounds like you crushed a bearing by clamping it too tight. What axis?

Seizing bearings is common when you assemble it without grease. More often if you popped a ball out inserting the rods. As Robert said, try loosening the U-bolts until they wiggle, if the bed moves easy - great. Tighten them back up, but only until the wiggle slack is gone.
