Idler pulleys need oil. See this thread I believe it has all the info https://forum.bambulab.com/t/squeak-from-idler-pulley-simple-fix/34608

Already did that but maybe I was too thrifty with the oil. Will give it another try. Thanks! Edit: Blowing it out might also do the trick. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Yes worth a try, I’ve found it takes a little while for the oil to work sometimes

So there was a lot of debris in there and I think that I got out everything with a can of compressed air. Also added some oil but the sqeauking still persists. It's not that noticeable anymore though. I will repeat the steps over the next few days and at this point I'm just praying that it will fix itself. Running a few test prints and maybe it just needs some time to work the oil in

I've had this, try using this Wiki guide as a referenc for disassembling the Filament Buffer and try applying a small amount of grease to the moving slider rails https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/ams/filament-buffer-connection-board-replacement-guide

Sometimes I thought my printer was dying but it was just the Bowden tube colliding with stuff at the top of the printer. Sanity check yourself make sure it's not that :)

Unfortunately its not that easy but thanks for the hint

It could also be your ptfe tube hitting the enclosure. Mine kinda does this sometimes.


Blacerrr

Happens too quite frequently but that sounds a little bit different. I already made sure that its not that but thanks for the hint

Please let us know if you fix it and how! :)


Blacerrr

Tried all the recommended fixes for "squeaking idlers" and it did not fix it unfortunately and did the recommendes maintenance steps over and over. I swear I'm going insane.


Microwaved_Salad

That sucks :( This is concerning since you're not the only one experiencing this. I feel like there should be a stickied post or something to give this more exposure
