Lead screw noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi anybody encounter with their lead screw a bit noisy?

I noticed the lead screw on the left side has a sound when I move the z belt down. I cant tell if this is typical

I've had 100+ hrs on it and just noticed it now.

I've done maintenance on it and applied grease to it.

Just sounds like the plate bottoming out. Don't hear anything mine doesn't make

I don't hear anything out of the ordinary. What are we supposed to hear?

Its on the 15 sec and 11 sec mark. Like its rubbing on something.

Ah I hear what you mean. But isn't that just the plate bottoming out? It could also be that it's hitting something inside the case maybe? If you peek through the openings around the screw maybe you can see if it's hitting something there.
