I can not find the origin, axes are oiled fine.

It's repeating per rotation of the axis.

Printer seems to print quite accurate, so right now it's just a noise problem.

The printer is an UM2+ and has been used only for a week or so.

    I had a very mild squeak, on one of my x pulleys, I couldn't isolate the location any closer than the back right corner. To dig deeper I started touching the belts pushing or pulling to try to align them to the center of the pulleys and see what caused the squeak to go away, nothing worked so I assumed it was right at the stepper motor.  I loosened all screws and took the belt off the motor and right under the stepper motors pulley was some black dust, which I presumed to be from the rubbing belt. I simply blew the dust and reinstalled the motor as best positioned as possible with a tight belt and the squeak went away.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
