My firewall blocks most all FB domain IP's ... at least the 200 or so addresses I know about.

Reverse engineered your first post attempt, you probably unchecked LINK TO MEDIA FILE before inserting.

The clicking is probably friction from unlubricated rods and bearings; or a belt that is too tight. Impossible to tell.

Try a few drops of oil on the rods, on each side of the extruder - same with the Y-axis rods, bot sides of the bearings.   Work the bed and extruder back and forth (powered off) to work the oil into and past the grease seals.

Belts should deflect about 1/4 inch minimum with 6 to 8 ounces pressure. 15/64 on X, and 12/64 on Y.

There is a BELT TENSION display on the LCD status menus: useless for adjusting belts, but helpful for looking at friction loads on the motors. What are the numbers on your printer?

There is also a known "squeaking" that occurs when the PTFE tubing is running against the Bondtech gears.

Thanks for the help, lubricated the rods and changed filament from PLA silver to PETG. Much better not completly silent but acceptable.
