RE: New C1+Kit - Strange clicking/rattle noise from Y-axis stepper area
Thanks for the follow-up! Its concerning that the replacement bearings were also defective :/
I recall when I was assembling the printer that a lot of the bearings looked "bad". They seem to have some rust marks or usage marks. I now regret not checking them all individually before assembly.
I wonder if this is also another cause for people having VFAs, since the "clicks" and changes in resistance that bad bearings cause can propagate trough the whole belt.
I may do the same thing you did and replace them all, just to be safe that they are not introducing extra noise.

Hmm, that made me wondering too...
I will also try out some new SKF bearings, the originals are of the 693ZZ type?
Should be 3mm hole, 8mm outer diammeter, 4mm width?

I believe the originals are 693-2RS type, but the 693ZZ are dimensionally identical (3mm ID, 8mm OD, 4mm width).

ohmygod, I've had this noise for as long as I can remember and only now had the time and space to look into it... Here I was worried that there was something going on with the linear bearings or something lmao. Thanks for the tip, saved me disassembling my printer for no reason haha
