They don't come prelubricated it seems, so you also may need to lubricate the smooth rods. If that doesn't fix it, buy some POM antibacklash nuts like [these](https://www.amazon.com/Printer-Backlash-Threaded-Eliminate-Accessories/dp/B07XYR3F4C?th=1). You want the 8x4 (2mm pitch, 4mm lead)   \r\n\r\n\r\nIt's a pretty common issue with these machines, and I think it's related to how heavy the bed is. I've also seen people having success with \"breaking in the machine\" by writing a gcode that raises and lowers the bed for hours on end.","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"whyliepornaccount"},{"body":"If you are sill using the brass z-axis nuts, any screeching you are hearing is most likely coming from these brass nuts. No matter what lubrications I used, I could not get it to shut up. I ended up upgrading to a POM Anti-Backlash nut and it has not made a peep since. \r\n\r\nI would also avoid using any greasy or oily lubricants as dust and dirt collects on the rods and may cause issues as well as needing to be cleaned on a regular basis. I ended up using a 100% dry-film Teflon Coating and lubricant made by DuPont and that has worked really well... almost to well. \r\n\r\nHere is the link to the POM nuts  I used. \r\n\r\n[POM Anti Backlash on Amazon](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYR3F4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)\r\n\r\nHope this helps.","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"TheAZtech"},{"body":"2-Pack TR8x4 T8 POM Anti Backlash Nuts for Ender 5 / Pro/Plus 3D Printer, Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm Acme Threaded Rod Eliminate The Gap Spring (Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_WETWQTJEWF3EGW3S6TS4?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"Rich-Tradition-4416"},{"body":"I went from using multi purpose lithium grease every month or so and getting annoyed when I would touch my z screw and getting grease on my hand....\r\n\r\nI then ordered POM nuts this one in fact\r\n\r\n2-Pack TR8x4 T8 POM Anti Backlash Nuts for Ender 5 / Pro/Plus 3D Printer, Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm Acme Threaded Rod Eliminate The Gap Spring (Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_5PWFTM1AHCAMDA82MJ64\r\n\r\nHope this helps as it did me without having to grease the z screws for over 4 months now","subreddit_name":"ender5","author":"xMaddhatterx"},{"body":"Mine did this for a couple weeks and then just stopped, no other printers just the ender 5 plus, you could try some anti backlash lead screw holders.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Printer-Backlash-Threaded-Eliminate-Accessories/dp/B07XYR3F4C/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3P9GG4QV6J0ZL\u0026amp;keywords=anti+backlash+nut+ender+5+plus\u0026amp;qid=1645149290\u0026amp;sprefix=anti+backlash+nut+ender+5+plus%2Caps%2C90\u0026amp;sr=8-4","subreddit_name":"ender5","author":"jmansmith8"},{"body":"2-Pack TR8x4 T8 POM Anti Backlash Nuts for Ender 5 / Pro/Plus 3D Printer, Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm Acme Threaded Rod Eliminate The Gap Spring (Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_8SEWCZFB7JKEAZHG42PS?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\n\r\nI just put those on last weekend.

But, if you don't like those, the description has the thread pitch information so you can order whicher ones you like.  As far as the rod length goes, I believe it's like 480, but not sure and it doesn't impact the nuts.","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"NarcissusCloud"},{"body":"Hopefully that stabilizes it but if you're still getting a lot of rubbing, enabling Z-Hop may help during travel moves. However this can cause other issues and I'd strongly recommend getting [POM anti-backlash nuts](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C). It's debatable how much they help when not using Z-hop or auto leveling but either way I think they're more consistent than the crappy stock nuts. I strongly recommend the POM over brass versions. \r\n\r\nAlso if you aren't already, consider using a bed mesh. Creality's beds are often a bit warped and this only gets worse when heated. This means some areas will always be closer to the nozzle. Adding a probe is truly worth it but a manual mesh is doable.","subreddit_name":"FixMyPrint","author":"jjgraph1x"},{"body":"Sure.

It was 100% the threaded rods and nuts that made the noise and NOT the guide rods.  Specifically, it was just the one on the right-side. I could push the tip toward the center of the printer during a print, and just a bit of pressure would completely eliminate the squeaks.","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"NominalValue"},{"body":"[Pom anti back lash nuts](2-Pack TR8x4 T8 POM Anti Backlash Nuts for Ender 5 / Pro/Plus 3D Printer, Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm Acme Threaded Rod Eliminate The Gap Spring (Pitch 2mm Lead 4mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_98T2KGSV8FB8DJEY45MS?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) 2mm pitch 4mm lead I believe are the correct ones.

Do you have the yellow springs?  You have leveled all four corners?  Then did the 16pt test AND saved the results?  I had a rough time with the factory installed Marlin.  I did change it to to vanilla marlin, but did not have the 4 corner option.  You can do a marlin text file that will do it and I deleted mine after I replaced the board since new marlin has that feature available.  But it is on Youtube, Dr. Vax.  just have to edit it for your bed size.  Will double check and see if I still have it and can post it if I do.  Now other issues, could be bltouch, the brass pieces could be loose (common) and should be replaced with pom anti backlash nuts.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYR3F4C/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_asin\\_title\\_o00\\_s01?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;th=1","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"slgorin"},{"body":"I couldn't get rid of the squeaking even after slathering grease on the z-rods, so I installed a pair of [POM anti backlash nuts](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYR3F4C/) a few weeks ago and have been really happy with them so far. Granted, I only owned the printer for a month or so before I made the swap, so maybe it would have worked itself out in time.","subreddit_name":"ender5plus","author":"DrivebyGroper"},{"body":"Hey there! \r\n\r\nI've got a problem with my Ender 5 Pro, which may have been an issue from the start which i didn't notice. My Ender 5 already has an Microswiss Direct Drive now, but lately i've had a lot of problems with z banding (i thought, at least).Now after adding this to my z axis rod: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07XYR3F4C/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_asin\\_title\\_o06\\_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1 i took a look at the x and y carriages. Both the X and Y had some points on the rail where they \"snap\" in? i thought okay, it must be the wheels then, changed all of them, and for the moment it was okay, everything was smooth. Now after a little test print (see the picture) these \"\"dents\" or whatever i should call them are back. So now i'm kinda stuck. Not sure what could be the problem. The black rail where the wheels grind into feels completely smooth. So i thought i'd ask here for help. My Ender is now almost a year old. Using latest version of Marlin with Octoprint. But the problem seems to be a hardware issue i think.I can send a picture of the X/Y Rails later, but i'm currently at work. :)","subreddit_name":"ender5","author":"Nebroth"},{"body":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYR3F4C?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details\u0026amp;th=1\r\n\r\nI brought the lead 4mm and can confirm it fit for Ender 5 plus. \r\nTips:You can use a cordless power drill to unscrew/screw back the long lead screw during installation.
