Prusa i3 mk3s z axis vibrating
Hi,
i own my prusa since September and everything was just fine.
But for the last few days my printer has this strange vibrating sound while moving the bed. I also noticed that the printed parts tend to loose from the plate.
I already rethightend all screws from the bed but that did not help.
Thx for your Help!
First work through this:

Thank you but i already did that.
I also noticed that the vibration stops when i „push" the bed down with my other hand while moving it.
My next step would be to change the bearings, unfortunately i have to disassamble the whole printer to do so :I
I also uploaded a video of my printer to my question but it seems like it didnt work so i will upload it again with this reply 🙂
Is this a harsh judder or an almost musical buzz?
With the power off, move the axis by hand; is is smooth? Does the resistance stay the same over the whole range?
Cheerio,

The bed rumbled on my new printer. After about a week of disassembly, tightening and calabration, I found defective bearings. Their foreheads (seals) were loose and made a terrible sound. It was OK after the exchange. Try it.

Hi,
here is a video:
I will try to change the bearings and the smooth rods. I will upload my result after that.
