X-axis movement noise
Hello,
I received my fully assembled MK3 about a month ago. I'm beginning to notice some high-pitched grinding noise when the printhead is moving quickly on the x-axis. Please see the video I recorded during a 9-point calibration.
The noise in question happens around 25 seconds into the video.
What is the cause of this noise? It seems to mostly happen when the printhead is moving towards zero rather than x-max.
Thank you.

You might have better luck posting this under the MK3 section and not the MK3 MMU section.

zip tie rubbing on something or bearings are kaput..... probably the bearings.

I'd second bearings. I had a bearing go out after about 3-4 weeks.
