are these bearing noisy? And is belt movement ok?

I've just assembled the y-axis on my new i3 mk2s.

These bearings sound noisy to me. Is it normal to sound like that?

And if you watch at the end of the video, you can see the belt moves from one end of the pulley to the other after full travel... that seems like an alignment issue, but everything seems to be lined up ok.

That sounds pretty normal for those bearings, they're not the quietest bearings in the world. The alignment issues doesn't look right though; double-check the widths on the front and back of the Y axis assembly. It looks like some measurements might have been flipped.

I double checked the measurements with a digital caliper and they are correct. Everything seems to be square. Could it just be the belt is on an angle a bit in holder?
