My Stealthburner started making a grinding sound when extruding. It's not the motor, but the gear attached to it. I cannot figure out how to stop it though. I've tried reseating it, adjusting the locking nut on the shaft, tightening, loosening. I'm hoping someone has an idea for me.

Are the teeth worn down? Maybe it’s time to replace the gears. (Throwing stuff at the wall here) other than that it sounds like maybe there is a piece of filament stuck somewhere rubbing against the gear?

Oh what about that bearing? Maybe the bearing is going out?
