Loud Z-axis hopping sound
My MK3 has loud z hopping sound.
It is not a big deal but it becomes the noisiest sound during printing, louder than the motors and the fans.
And I notice that the z axis movement noise is louder when doing mesh leveling on the front row of the heat bed, it is much quieter when mesh leveling the back row. Interesting...
Any idea? I am thinking of some mismatch between the two Z motors but I don't know how to go further.
Re: Loud Z-axis hopping sound
How much print time do you have? My Z axis, specifically the right side made ALL KINDS of annoying sounds. The printer has just kept getting quieter and quieter though. It makes virtually ZERO Z axis sounds now. It actually woke me up once they were so bad.

I try to not make mistakes, but the decision is YOURS.
