Hi there, I have a creality ender 3 v3 plus and as of late I'm noticing an odd noise coming from inside the printer head. The noise is a squeak like noise sometimes a grind, but 99% of the time its just a squeak. Attached are two videos showcasing the issue. I'm still fairly new when it comes to 3d printers so I'm not sure where to even start when it comes to diagnosing the issue. (From my limited knowledge, could it be the extruder gear that's squeaking?)

It sounds like the noise could be related to the extruder gear or possibly the hot end assembly. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

  1. Check the tension of the extruder gear. Make sure it's gripping the filament properly without being too tight.
  2. Inspect the filament path for any obstructions or debris that could be causing the squeaking.
  3. Lubricate the moving parts of the extruder assembly with a small amount of high-temperature grease.
  4. Check the tightness of the hot end assembly to ensure it's secure.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer or a local 3D printing professional for further assistance.

you're probably right, are you able to get to the tightener section and loosen it a little?
