What is this click moving x axis? A dead bearing?
For a few days now I have been hearing a noise when T0 moves on the x-axis.
Does this mean that a bearing has died?

locktite is your friend, I would put a dab on the screws so they don't back out

the zzZZZzzzZZ sound seems normal but that light rattling might be a bearing gone bad. Id rule out any other metal on metal things nearby first though
I have this same clicking noise too! Except i'm pretty sure mine is coming from the lower T1 X axis motor. And came across this youtube video where it seems like this guy has the same issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_XOfx6kZV0
I've got the same click. Coming from the t0 x axis motor area. Have not found the source yet
Yup. Same here. T0 x axis pulley
Try to move the grub screw away from the flar spot
I also have this sound and been poking at it almost all day with no resolution
Try to move the grub screw away from the flart spot of the motor shaft.
You mean this screw?
By tightening the two screws of the pulley, the problem seems to have been solved

@Teo_ VC4.0 400 IDEX yes.
Blue or violet?
I use blue
why should u move it a way from the flat part? would that not make it more prone to slipping?
Managed to fix it that way... But I also installed loctite this time... I managed to get rid of it by just tightening to 1.2Nm before but I suppose it came undone and the clicking was back... Ill have to see if the loctit and moving off the flat spot did anything longterm, but seems promissing... Now the vcore sound soooo good compared to my old ass enders
