A1 Z Axis Grinding Sound

Bambu Lab A1 Series Troubleshooting
1

Hi!
I’m fairly new to 3D printing, so this might be a very easy fix for someone more experienced than me.
The Z Axis of my printer started making a grinding noise, and it’s gotten progressively louder, I have oiled the screws.
The printer is three months old and has about 110 hours of printing under its belt.

I have had the head crash into prints when using the print by objects function, so that may have been the cause? I also have large buildups up molten filament on the outside of my nozzle when printing with petg (just thought i’d throw that in there, might help)

Edit: The printing still works, I’m just worried.

Here’s a video of the Z axis moving.

Like, you can’t hear any audio or you can’t hear the grinding noise? When i checked in on the video with my headphones i couldn’t hear the grinding until i had turned up the volume quite a bit.

i think the grinding sound is too low

Hm, strange.
Maybe it just isn’t a problem and I’m overreacting.
Thanks for your help!
