Squeak Sound with Silk PLA
I have been having some issues with Aceaddity 3D Printer Filament multi color silk PLA. It is fine until about 70% (on every model) then it starts to make a squeaking sound. Almost like 2 Styrofoam cups rubbing together. It sounds like it is having issues moving the PLA through down to the nozzle. I have tried adjusting the retraction and the temp all with the same results. Always around 70% it squeaks. I have even tried adjusted the screw with the spring on it (sorry I don't know what that is called). I have dried the filaments. I have 4 different color variations and they all squeak. 🙁

RE: Squeak Sound with Silk PLA
I am wondering if you were able to resolve this. I have the same issue. But I am using a Dremel 3d45 printer.
