Lead Screw Screeching (Vcore4 IDEX)
Has anybody run into an issue where the Z1 lead screw (the rear one) has some random screeching/squeaking. It happens sometimes, especially on fast Z moves (like during z tilt calibration). I am able to isolate it to that lead screw because if I put my hand on it and give it a little pull towards the front of the machine while it is screeching, the sound goes away. I put some light sewing machine oil on the lead screw which seemed to fix the issue, but I was under the impression that the POM lead screw nut shouldnt need lubrication. Also after a few days the sound seems to have returned...

VCore4 IDEX Belt Tensioning - Should Mount Hybrid?
I'm working on going through the IDEX commissioning guide and seem to have everything complete. I am now looping back around to perform the standard commissioning guide. In what order should I do the tensioning? It mentions tuning the CoreXY belts first, and then adding and tuning the hybrid belts. However, during the IDEX commissioning guide, one issue I ran into was that the z-tilt cal did not work. Based on reading a couple of threads, the problem was that the hybrid belts need to be mounted for the IDEX machine to work properly for the commissioning, so I mounted the hybrid belts.
Now that im coming back to belt tuning, am I supposed to remove the hybrid belts and perform the tuning, even though I have the IDEX build, and then reattach the hybrid belts and continue tuning? If so, does this change any work I've done up to this point on the IDEX commissioning steps?
