I have a new P2S printer with about 500 hours of printing on it.
It makes a strange noise when the print head is in a certain position.
I have performed the maintenance described in the wiki, but the noise is still present.
I tried to identify the source of the noise, but I was not able to find it.
I have attached a few videos showing the problem.
Has anyone encountered this noise before? What could be the source of it, and how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Same thing happened to me same noise. I couldn’t find any info so I used a small amount of the grease supplied on the tracks ant seemed to work for a while. The noise has now returned so will be interested to see if you get any other advice
I also applied the supplied material to the tubes. It helped a little, but the noise didn’t go away completely.
I hope there will be some solution for it, because it makes a very annoying sound during printing.
Just found a thread that looks useful but I don’t know how to attach it hopefully this will work. If not search for p2s squeak on the forum

It’s not the threaded rods, but the timing belt (z) on the underside of the printer. It may sound counterproductive, but it works reliably. You need to carefully grease the outside (not the teeth) of the belt. One or two spots are enough. Then the squeaking will stop, i think. This is a known issue with the P1, and it seems that the P2 has the same problems.
To find the source of that noise, you can stop the print head where it squeaks and look at all the pulleys
Applying some grease at the side of the belt where rubbing happens does help reduce the squeaky noise. But that is likely treating the symptom not solving the root cause.
