What is this noise?
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have an idea where this noise is coming from?
When I start printing, there is no noise, but after a few layers, it begins. Last night, the same thing happened, and the filament got stuck.
Thanks in advance,
Zibi
Lightly grip the filament above the print-head. Do you feel pulses along with the clicks?
If so your Bondtech gears' grip is slipping.
Possible causes:
- Extruder body and gear teeth full of filament dust/fragments; open and clean.
- Partial clog causing backpressure in the hot end; cold pull.
- Wrong tension on extruder idler; adjust.
- Unusually undersized filament; measure to check, if so, temporarily adjust idler.
Cheerio,

Thanks, Diem!
Yes, there were pulses.
Since then, I figured out that it was because of the filament. I didn't do anything, just changed the filament back (it happened with an original Prusa filament) and now it works like a charm.
Thanks,
Zibi
