Linear bearings sound rattley (rattles) at front left of printer
Anyone else got a rattle coming from either the linear bearings or nextruder when printer is past halfway along the X gantry and only when moving to the left never the right also getting a weaker rattle coming towards the front at the left hand side again. It does it when I move it by hand or when the machine does it.
Also when the machine is moving the y axis under its own power it sounds like your pushing a block of polystyrene on the floor

Hello!
Yes, this is a fairly common issue with certain 3D printers. The rattling on the X gantry and the “polystyrene scraping” sound on the Y axis usually point to bearing seating problems, belt tension issues, or misalignment in the extruder housing. These noises are not normal and can often be fixed with careful adjustment or lubrication.
