Weird sound

Hey everyone,

Since a few days my printer is making these strange sounds and I am consuming it is because of the filament not getting good pushed through. Does any of you have experience with this sound? Watch the Youtube link to hear it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dennis,

If I may, your idler tension screws seem to me way too tight and this sound may come from this.

I agree about the amount of tension on the filiment. The heads look way below the surface
May not be related but looks like a lot.

I have had noises like that as the spool winds down and filiment rubs the side of the spool.

Yea true, I am having troubles with the first layer unfortunately, but I want to fix the problems one by one, and the sound doesn't sound good to me.Releasing the tension screws a bit have worked.
