Newbie question about Stealth Mode

Hi All,

Forgive the newbie question.  I have a Prusa i3 MK3S+.  I was expecting stealth mode to be a lot quieter.  There doesn't really seem to be a difference with it on or off.  I've included a short video of what it sounds like.

I'm wondering if this is normal, or if my printer needs maintenance, or if I am doing something wrong.

 

Thanks

... Brad

The first layer of the print should be silent only being able to hear fans rest that's about right

RE: Newbie question about Stealth Mode

I have a similar question.  I've noticed my printer is making more noise than when I first assembled it a couple of years ago.  Does this indicate the motors are going out or some other maintenance type work that needs to be done?

thanks in advance!

You need to lube the rods and take out bearings to pack theme with grease also they may need replacing motor probably won't go that soon and if they were they wouldn't do it at the same time
