What causes this screeching noise?
My printer prints perfectly and has done so for years. But it's loud (and always has been) when doing certain movements across the print bed and I was wondering if any of you could point me in a direction on how to solve this.

As you can hear it makes these horrendous screeching noises every now and again, always when moving diagonally at a certain speed across the print bed. I've tried the following with no success:
- Tightening the fans, made no difference
- Lubricated the print bed ball bearings, makes zero difference
- Put my hand around different parts on the printer to see if I could find a resonance, no success
I cannot reproduce the sound when moving the print bed or extruder manually through the menus. So it only happens at these specific speeds when it moves diagonally while printing.
RE: What causes this screeching noise?
Sounds like a very specific resonance happening at certain combined speeds of bed and X carriage. On what kind of bench and floor sits the printer ?. Have you tried to move it to a different location and see if it makes any difference on the noise ?.
