Is this noise "normal"?
Hi, I have had the mini+ for a few weeks, and I am noticing that when it prints at 45 ° at standard speed (so no first layer and no filling), on the left side I hear this noise ... it seems as if the nozzle scrapes on the piece that is printing ... I verified that it was neither the electronics cover nor the USB key ring ... what could it be? In the video I'm using prusament petg (printing from a eibos dryer)
RE: Is this noise "normal"?
I’ve notice the same thing on my MK3S+ Which I just built about 2 months ago. On mine, I notice it most when it is doing a curved line.. I think the steppers are doing an x then y movement very short and repetitive. There is a plug in on my OctoPrint where it can intercept those movements and change them to a different G code which makes a smoother transition.
I am just guessing that is what you are hearing. But like you, I only notice it occasionally, and I notice mine on all filaments (PETG & PLA)

I have seen videos on youtube with the same "problem" ... and I also think a forum user here (in his case he mentioned that maybe it was a bearing, but I don't know ...) these days I'm printing about 2 times a day the same piece with some small changes and that noise is really scary live ... what's the name of the plugin you use with octoprint? I have a pair of raspberry 3b + that I don't use, I'd like to give it a try ... thanks a lot

It's called ARC WELDER.. now I don't use it.. the video on it is here.. arcWelder .
Now I don't know if this will help the issue, as I'm not sure exactly what G Codes Prusa generates for circles/slants/arcs.. But would be nice to experiment.
