MK3 makes a weird noise when moving left and right

Hi,

Please have a look at my video, the MK3 makes a weird noise. Belts are at 275/273

Let me know if you need more information or a solution.

Thanks,

When its printing, place your hand on the LCD screen holder to see it it stops. It sounds like vibration from that area.

I've put a piece of foam tape underneath the display where it touches the table and it's solved for now.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem let me know, or let Prusa know if it needs a design change.

The display box on my MK3 kit is slightly above the table top and does not touch it.

I've seen that though putting 2cm thick soft foam under the edge solved my annoying sound issue.

It's fixed, the 2 bolts aren't tight enough, I was afraid to split the plastic.
