Bearings not smooth?

Have greased bearing etc well, and orientated them correctly as marked. However when moving the x-carriage back and forth they do not seem smooth, and seems loud?

Is this normal and just me, or something wrong here??

FYI - Prusa Chat were very helpful. Send the video across and this was the response:

”It sounds fine - it will always be much louder when you move it by hand compared to when it's controlled by the board. If anything, you can loosen your X belt just a tad. But overall I don't hear anything concerning in the video”

He even sent me a video of his own printer at home to confirm the sound!! Can’t ask for much more then that!

Many year MK3 owner with a 3 day old MK4. I’ve run into the room several times thinking the MK4 was dead/broken, only to find it’s just quieter.

of course, I had the original power supply and replaced it with a 240W meanwell (with fan) when PRUSA was still insisting that the original (120W?) power supply was specked sufficiently.

When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "YES!"
