Loud clicking/knocking sound

Hi 

I've had my new MK3S+ for a few weeks now and its been a dream up til the past few days when I've started getting a loud clicking or knocking sound - I've attached a video which should illustrate the problem. Would be really grateful if someone could suggest a possible cause? It seems to happen most when the printer is making diagonal or circular movements, so movements on both the x and y axes. Would this be caused by a bearing issue?

Thanks in advance!

RE:

Are you able to identify the source of the cracking?

Did you get your printer fully assembled or as a kit ...and more and more questions.

RE: Loud clicking/knocking sound

Can you isolate the noise to a specific axis?   To me it looked more like on Y axis move than X.   Try pressing gently on the fingerprint areas of the heatbed while it is happening.... if it changes or goes away it would be Y axis.  

Or, maybe try a rectangular print with little combined movement, where just Y or just X is mostly being used at one time.

RE:

I have what I think is the exact noise. When did you get your printer?

Mine is most definitely coming from the Y axis. Just got the printer 2 weeks ago fully assembled version. 

Large infill pattern.
