Stepper noise

Hello,

During today's print I was hearing a noise (like a "clank...clank") that seems to come from the X-asis stepper when it's moving, but I don't know if it can be a problem of the stepper itself, perhaps a too much tensioned belt or any other kind of problem.

Thanks.

Best Answer by Tim Weston:

It's a little hard to be sure from the recording, but it looks/sounds like the noise is occurring with each revolution of the stepper motor shaft.

As a first check make sure that the two grub screws holding the pulley on the X-axis stepper motor shaft are fully tight.

Cheers,

Tim

Thank you very much!!! After tightening those screws the noise has disappeared.
