My form 3 has developed a squeak. Its only started happening since I changed the resin tank. I have re greased the X and Y axis and checked the tank bottom which looks clean. This is the first time my machine has squeaked! any suggestions please as this is now constant during the print! The machine is roughly two years old.
Have a look at my response, worked for me.
Hey there @osmondmst! Its possible that your Form 3 is due for its x-axis maintenance (see the full schedule of maintenance here). Over time, the anti-backlash nut on the printer wears down, and can leave debris along the x-axis lead screw. This can lead to print failures and abnormal noises due to an increase in friction during printer movement.
If you haven’t given it a try yet, I recommend doing so. We recently released a process video on the Formlabs Support Youtube channel for this maintenance, so I hope you find it helpful!
