How many here are affected by “BearingGate”, as E3D is putting it? Who has a Titan/Titan Aero extruder and have you seen this happen with yours?

i have bought 3 of them in the period mentioned - 2 i have never used, while 1 has been very briefly fitted in my printer.

Reading SanjayM on Reddit has been a goldmine of info, but I wasn’t aware of the 2nd wave of issues.

@Cristian_Nicola I also have 2 I recently purchased that are sitting in a box

Hot damn, I am shocked there was a lubricant capable of damaging PC that much.

And as a byproduct, we learned how to neutralize bulletproof glass!

I have 1 that is squeaking, no idea if it’s related.

The squeaking extruder just completely failed. The bearing rusted out, seized, and completely destroyed the bearing mounts.
