Whining Noise from top of Carriage
Hi everyone, I just received my mk3s a few days ago and have enjoyed it a lot! Yesterday when I changed the filament, it got stuck so I had to manually unload it by taking out the idler screw. No big deal. I put my new filament in (matter hackers pro PLA) and tightened the idler screw, but it makes this whining noise when it does short movement/retractions. I have included an audio file to hear what it sounds like. Any suggestions?? Is my idler screw too tight? Too loose? https://forum.prusa3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Marina-Dr.m4a

Can't listen to you sound file as I don't have an Apple m4a converter.
However, you should set up the idler screw before feeding in the filament. So it is very likely that the idler screw is set incorrectly.

How do I correctly set idler screw?
RE: Whining Noise from top of Carriage
Assuming we are talking about a MK3S printer, the kit build manual says and I quote,
"Since there is only one screw, you need to introduce a large force. The head of the screw, should be aligned or slightly below the surface."
