Strange rattling sound, dissapears when I apply slight pressure
Not sure why, but the printer has started making a rattling sound while printing. The sound stops when I apply the slightest pressure to the X axis pulley. Are there any parts that I can adjust that might alleviate this issue?
RE: check
Check to see if you bearings are too loose or too too tight. Also, check to see if any screws are loose.

adjust the bearings?
Screws have been tightened, tightened the x axis belt. Ran the belt tension test, came back as 254, which should be within acceptable limits. As far as the bearings go, how would I adjust them? I would think just replacing them would be the only solution.
Have the bearings been greased recently
If not try greasing now
