Rattle Noise with Y movement. Is possible to use Rubber pads in bearing like mk4?
I see Mk4 is using 1mm rubber pads in the 3 Bed bearings.
It seems to reduce the "rattle noise" with Y movement...... something that is making me crazy in my 3 mk3s+ units.....
It´s not possible to do this mod in mk3s? I searched for rubber pad mod or similar, but cant find anything.
Thanks!!!!
RE:
If you could get the pads needed, possibly. But it may change the Z height of the bed. Will that cause other problems without the rest of the 3.9 mods? I don't know. I tried a Z bracket mod on my mk3s+ and it messed up Z axis homing.
I found on my MK3S+ the Y started to get noisy after 6 months. It quieted down once I re-torqued all the Y axis rod mounting bolts. It is part of my 6 month maintenance check now on my MK4 also. Last 6 month check 2 of the bolts that clamp the Y axis rods were almost a full turn to tight.

I had this rattle noise on my MK3S+ since it was new. Very frustrating so I changed all the bearings. No difference. But when I moved it to a different table the noise disappeared. So try things related to placement. Different table, on pads, blocks, etc.
