Awesome write up by the way!! Thank you! I figured it was a lube issue as there is a video / instructions on the SD card. Just no where near as detail and if I recall it only shows 3 & 1 oil on the rods.

Thank you very much for your instructions

i have dun this and i am now printing silent again.
i just used sewing machine oil and it worked well.

I'm glad it was helpful and after my ~20 hour print completed today I started a 4 hour run and was happy to hear no noise. I do expect to have to re-oil in the future, but I will keep everyone updated on how long that takes. For right now I print only in ABS so far and have not ventured into the lower heat printing. I would suspect printing primarily PLA would put lower heat stress on the bearings.
