RE: Loud grinding/rattling-type noise during fast diagonal movements
Waking up this thread 😀 since Issue is not being resolved at all....
I have made a lot of upgraded to try and curb this grinding/rattling noises...
1. Igus upgrade to eliminate any possibility that noise is coming from metal on metal contact (X and Y)- Machine still grinding and rattling
2. Direct Drive Extruder (Stock was pathetic...)- Machine still grinding and rattling
3. Motherboard housing with added extra connection points to the frame - Machine still grinding and rattling
4. Belt replacement with GT2 (looks a bit softer than stock) - Machine still grinding and rattling
5. Y Motor secured with Double-sided Silicon Tape (1mm) to eliminate contact with plastic frame - Machine still grinding and rattling
6. Whole machine re-checked for any loose screws and not tightened one (all fine) - Machine still grinding and rattling
7. Did all those alignment steps from How To's and all is straight as an arrow BUT - Machine still grinding and rattling
8. I have not bloody IDEA what the heck is making those noises!!!
Only thing left for me to check is to disassemble X axis and check extruder and what is going on in there. But how that is assembled/designed is just PITA so I will try it when I have time and when I am really in a good mode before I go and disassemble all of it AGAIN...
Have you had any luck with reducing the noise?

Part cooling fan? Give it a squeeze and stop the blade spinning, any difference?
RE: Loud grinding/rattling-type noise during fast diagonal movements
Nop still the same.... I am about to upgrade to Revo Micro. I will check it again. Also in mean time I did chenge my X end which helped with keeping it straight (even after not being used for months it was basically USB in and print, still grinding like MF!)
RE: Loud grinding/rattling-type noise during fast diagonal movements
a big NOP.... It was so with original and since I am using Noctua one now I can assure you it is not from fan since stopping it does not change anything...
