Extruder Noise; Click when retracting

Hello,

Since one week i'm the lucky owner of a Prusa Mk3 kit version. Assembly went fine and no problems untill now ( and still really haven't got one ).

Recently i start noticing a small but present "click" when the printer is retracting ( Z-hop or no Z-hop ). I'm not directly having a problem with a clicking sound but i cant seem to stop thinking there is something wrong with the extruder. The sound is definitely coming for the extruder but i cant seem to pinpoint the exact cause and fix. Seems something is smashing into each other.

So far i've checked:

- Idler Tension; tryed loose, and tightend and everything in between
- Made sure its not the nozzle touching something ( Print or bed )
- Checked for Clogs; None, also did a Cold pull no dirt or w/e
- Tryed other Material PLA and PETG both the same
- Tryed playing with retraction settings, only fix seems No retraction 🙄
- Checked for loose Nuts
- Checked Extruder gear alignment
- Tryed increasing and lowering Extrusion multiplier
- 'Ruled out' for faulty slic3r settings, since the prusa Gcodes also have the clicking

So far nothing helped. Is something faulty? or is this sound 'normal' ( doesn't seem normal to me. )

Please help 🙂

Search on "extruder click". There are many detailed discussions on this topic that should be relevant. FWIW I didn't hear anything unusual in your video.

Thanks for the reply i already searched this forum and the interwebs for quite some hours and tryed numerous fixes, with no luck.

Im curious what is clicking. Cant seem to wrap my head around it. Filament cant click in de extruder when retracting right?
