I will most likely contact QIDI support shortly as I just received the machine and I am willing to disassemble and correct the issue if there is a faulty bearing, etc. Video has been captured of the sound + movement in Y-Axis rod but hasn't been uploaded yet.
I also have a creaking sound on part of the Y axis which sounds like it is coming from the back right corner. I haven't found the cause yet. Did you manage to fix this?
