I had thought the Y axis always sounded "crunchy" when moving. I finally started using this thing to try to produce something, and 3 parts in the telescoping Y axis ball screw cover started jamming up... I figured something had come loose, a nut or screw was jamming up the Y. I removed the telescoping cover piece, searched high and low, but could not find anything that could possibly be jamming other than the cover itself. It seems very tight, and doesn't move easily by hand...
I went ahead and left it off for the time being, and used a 1 gal zip lock McMaster Carr bag over the ball screw to keep debris off of it, and am currently trying to keep everything extra clean... The Y axis now doesn't sound as crunchy when moving with the cover removed.
It seems like another "bellows" type think like on the Z axis would be a much better solution than the aluminum telescoping cover?
Anyone else have issue like this? What was your fix? The plastic bag probably isn't the best solution, but its better than nothing.
