Started making these sounds in the middle of the print. It kept extruding though, didn’t stop or something. The stepper motor isn’t that old, but wasn’t expensive either. Anyone knows this sound?

    Do you think those really tiny bearings used for the extruder axis’ can make such a sound?

    Absolutely, yes. If it never made that sound and started with age, do not go sanding anything. Clean and lubricate again and look for broken parts.

    Any point of contact can be making that noise. Including the motor, yes, but everything else is more likely.
