'Crunchy' Y-Axis Rails - V3.1 300
My failure rate is 5/6. Only right Y-rail feels and sound about normal.

Answer is that it is poorly executed coating-experiment. I'm currently chatting with their customer service and try to get new rails from warrenty (quote from ratrig "Under EU law, the V-Core 3.1, including the extra add-on components, is covered by a standard European 3-year limited warranty.")
Premium coreXY machine , as they call it, should have motionsystem components that lasts more that couple of hours.
I suggest you contact them.

How old is your kit? My kit is from about 5/-23 230h run time. 3 rails are flaking their nickel coating ,that ofcourse means that it ends up in carriage and gives all kind of headaches. Ratrig told me "The flakes are from an extra coating of nickel plating we've been experimenting with. Most linear rails on the market don't have this coating, but we tried to add it as an extra protection against corrosion. It looks like the idea comes with some drawbacks, and sometimes the coating starts to peel under the pressure of the bearings. "
They have given up with nickelcoating by now. Apparently it was failure.
