My Prusa Mini fell from my desk and now the Y-axis is noisy
So it fell from my desk (filament tangled on the roll and the printer pulled itself from the desk). Fell about a metre.
Everything seemed to work fine yesterday but I noticed a rattling sound when moving the Y-axis. The noise is only there or at least much more noticeable when the bed is moving down. Halfway down always around the same spot it makes noises.
I tightened and untightend the belt and put some grease on the rod but that did not change anything so I decided to ask here to see if anyone knows which part is acting up and how to fix it.
Here is a clip where you can hear the noise and see at which position the noise starts.
Suggestion
Look closely at the plastic parts. I would suspect on is cracked. Also look at the metal parts for a bend.
