New Printer and want to make sure the sounds it makes are normal

I received my printer on monday. better than christmas or a new iPhone. I purchased the kit and have concerns that perhaps the sounds it is making are not normal, since i am the one who built it. could someone please have a listen? Prints are looking great as far as i can tell.

yep, that's how an MK2(S) sounds like.
you should notice a difference between [silent] and [high power] mode as well.

Thanks guys. I have tried silent as well. The concern was i screwed up the build i can live with the noise. Its also on a cheap ikea desk for now that probably amplifies the noise. 😉

Re: New Printer and want to make sure the sounds it makes are normal

there are several methods described here at the forum to reduce the noise. simply use the board search function with "damper"...

Re: New Printer and want to make sure the sounds it makes are normal

Sounds exactly like mine did:

I thought my bearings where bad, Prusa support said it was likely resonance, and support was right. I put 2 layers of thin packing foam under my printer, and now its so silent, even in n"power mode", I cant even tell if its printing when Im in the next room.

Many will suggest you print those shock absorbing feet, but watch this before you actually go that route:

I feel like my foam solution is better, even if not quite as pretty.
