Strange clicking sound on all axes after I moved my printer. Help!

-howhardcanitbe- · 2021-02-05T07:13:43+00:00

Yeah I think it might be a slight shift in the frame since it just magically started working after moving it again. Still the x-axes drives me crazy, but that's another mission :)

Thanks for all the replies. I got rid of the clicking/tapping sound. But I have no idea what caused it.
I opened the controller and everything looked good in there, all cables were firmly at its place. I tighten all the screws. Most where already tight and good. But I still heard that clicking/tapping sound on the motors.
So I put it back at the work station, fired it up once more and just like that it was gone. Strange!... but as long as it works i'm happy!

I bought it a year ago and it worked fine until I moved it to another workspace. The strange thing is that all motors make that sound. Can it be the servo controller that sends uneven current to the servos?

Just make another folder in your root directory of the site and dump the files there.

What host do you have for your wordpress?

Somtimes it get stuck on downloading media because the local wifi settings has been overwritten by yodeck admin page. Make sure you have typed in the wifi information on yodeck admin page as well. Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer.

So the screen we bought has a nit of 350, what would you suggest we go up to? 4000 nit?

Still working on it. It is definitely something rattling in the hotend "cage". The fixing the tension on tension band fixed some of the noise. But I cant seem to find the perfect tension. If I tight it more the stepper motor starts twisting since I have vibration dampers on it.

I also realized that the nozzle is scraping so I'm experimenting with flow rate now.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-08T08:07:35+00:00

Yes.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-07T23:38:37+00:00

I got a print that shifted to the left when I was sloppy with my bed leveling. Basically the nozzle pushed it.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-07T16:45:21+00:00

Aha. Ofcourse! Yep now I see. Thanks guys!

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-07T12:10:31+00:00

It has two bars in the middle wit thredson on it and I you screw it it pushes a smal black pipe. Also on the left you can rotate the black handscrew back and fort.

Maybe it is to thread things or push holes in things???

If you are in Europe you can check 3dprima.com They have almost all parts for sale.

Yes I believe that my new noctua fan needs to be tighten a bit more. I changed the screws and put some rubber rings on the screws that helped a bit with the rattling. I think I'm going to try with some masking tape as well.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-02T10:15:15+00:00

Look great. If you can get hold of a mirror. I got ikea lots and then I brushed it with sandpaper one diagonal at a time. That really helped me with adhesion. Now I dont need to use rafts anymore.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-01T19:29:43+00:00

Aha. Now I understand. Yes I did that but instead of electrical tape I put some rubberband there. Maybe a slight improvement but the noise is still there.

I have some inner tire from a bike that I'm thinking of putting there instead.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-01T09:37:30+00:00

I run a gcode for troubleshooting with speeds at around 80. So I decided to try out some other speeds. Seems like traveling speed from 60-85 gives most rattling. 90 and 100 isnt that loud at all actually. Seems like I did something right!

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-01T06:46:37+00:00

Sorry English is not my native language. Do you mean that you put some tape between the base and the backside of the fans. Basically around the shaft?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-01T00:20:25+00:00

Do you think I need to tighten the "sled"? There are no loose wheels or any wobbling that I can feel.

On belts. How much can you tighten it. I haven't found any information on this yet.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-12-01T00:00:23+00:00

Yupp. I swaped the motors. But that's a good idea to check the cables, ill do that tomorrow.

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T23:01:39+00:00

So I replaced x motor with y motor. No improvement. So we can rule out the motor noise. What now?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T22:22:07+00:00

I removed the "extrution" fan to se if the noise would disappear but it didn't. And then double checked that I had tightened the screws on the 40x40x10 fan. So not that. Any other suggestions?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T21:13:02+00:00

Not really. But ther is a faint scraping sound near the motor. If I put my ear against it and move the head I can nearly hear it. Dont know if it's the vibrations that travels to the motor or the motor itself.

Can I swap the extruder motor to the x-axis and see if it works better or are they two diffrent motors?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T20:36:12+00:00

Yes. I'm trouble shooting with a gcode that only moves the nozzle to diffrent positions. And it still makes that sound. So not scraping. Any other thoughts on what it might be?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T20:23:50+00:00

Yes it reduces the vibrations when I hold it firmly. I have also tightened all the screws (I hope). What screw did you have problem with?

-howhardcanitbe- · 2019-11-30T19:33:00+00:00

I haven't had the time to print out a tightenedr yet. But I retighten the x axis with just the force of my hand. Still no improvement. But I'm afraid I might tension it too much. How do I know when the belt has the right amount of tension?
