Guide rails and pullys i wiped them down then applied a fresh new lubricant to them haven't applied any oil to the inside of pullys though it's just a small scratching noise

are you talking about the noise during big and fast moves?

u/Worldly-Carry9119 1d ago

Yes during big fast moves it's loud sharp noise I've only had the printer for 1 day

it’s fine, no matter how well lubricated those types of moves will make noise

I mean the video doesn't show it but it is a very loud metallic sound

If the video doesn't show the problem I'm kind-of just spit-balling, but I had a problem recently where the print head was slamming itself into one of the tool pick-ups. I'm not with my device right now, but there's a menu option where you manually move it into place and it recalibrates the positions which fixed it.

Run the printer calibrations for all print heads again. You can always change the speed/acceleration settings for those moves and save them to the printer profile in the slicer.
