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.
Re: X-axis movement noise
The noise occurs in both directions, not normal at all. I would check your x-axis idler bearing, it might be coming apart. You also might have a linear bearing going out, but I can't tell which direction the sound is coming from.
Re: X-axis movement noise
There are actually two suspicious sounds in that video. One of them I believe is the x-axis belt rubbing against the idler pully walls. My printer makes the same noise. The other sounds like maybe a bad bearing.
