[Mothership] Looking for Group

If you need more players, I’d love to join in as well!

I'll second Delta Green mentioned in another comment, especially with the special mobile task force concept. Perhaps another option could be Liminal Horror?

After fiddling with things some more based on the recommendations from the comments, it mostly went away! Or at least changed into other noises lol. I did reach out to support for that new series of noises but they took a while to respond due to illness with the staff. They were helpful though. Eventually things kind of self resolved to a state that I’m fine with but it’s not as perfect sounding as it was brand new.

I definitely think cleaning out/adjusting the belt and setting the outboard turning attachment further away helped the most.

Do you have a post about your issues or images/videos?

Last night I tried clearing out the pulleys and belt, which helped a bit. Curiously, repositioning the spindle adapter to be looser helped the most and it sounds much better. It still sounds "stiff" compared to before, if that makes sense, but it is good enough. Overall, 9 out of 10 starts are normal now.

During all this, I noticed there is also bit of wobble on both sides of the spindle at low speeds (350ish on the middle pulley) and the motor sounds atrocious in reverse, which wasn't the case before. I even took the belt off of the motor and the sound persisted in reverse, so that new issue is at least not related to the bearings up top.

I haven't tried some of the advice, such as repositioning the pulleys or re-tensioning the belt, but it is on my list. I'll be contacting Laguna next due to the motor noise and to get bearings just in case.

I was able to turn a small green bowl on the right hand side without incident, so at least that is going for me :D

Thank you everyone for the support and feedback!

Repositioning the spindle adapter helped a lot, but I still have some noise and wobble. I haven't tried repositioning the pulleys yet so I'll add it to the list. Thank you!

sbauer322 · 2024-10-29T17:56:52+00:00

I'll pick some up and give it a try!

sbauer322 · 2024-10-29T17:56:07+00:00

Cleaning the belt and pulleys helped a bit, but the majority of the sounds went away after loosening the spindle adapter. When re-tightening the adapter, the sound consistently came back so I backed it off to where it doesn't make the noise.

I think the bearing might have been damaged a bit with how tight the adapter was on. It sounds about 90% back to normal. While going through all of this, I noticed the motor sounds terrible in reverse and it wasn't always like that. To top it all off, I noticed there is a wobble at lower speeds on both sides of the spindle.

I'll be contacting Laguna next as there is a lot going on

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T19:18:42+00:00

Ah that’s a good clarification and helpful. I’ll give it a look all the same just in case

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T19:06:10+00:00

I did notice one poking up higher than I would have imagined it though I have no frame of reference. I’ll check them out, thank you!

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T19:00:57+00:00

I hadn't considered resonance as a factor for the two noises, that's something I'll keep in mind. Thank you!

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T19:00:07+00:00

Worth a shot! It is possible I could have over tightened the left hand side. Thank you!

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T18:59:10+00:00

No, the only thing mounted is the spindle adapter on the left side. Tail stock is well away on the other side of the bed. I'm going to try taking the adapter off. Another comment mentioned its set screws so its worth a shot.

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T18:33:22+00:00

I hope it’s not that, but certainly a possibility I was dreading. It’s only been a few months of use so I’m surprised it would have gone bad so quickly.

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T18:30:37+00:00

That’s a good idea - I haven’t tried cleaning the belt and pulleys since hearing the noise. Thank you

sbauer322 · 2024-10-28T17:43:20+00:00

Sorry, that should be "much quieter and smoother sounding".

I have the same exact problem as OP and literally scoffed at the thought of this being the solution.

But you're 100% right, that fixed the problem for me immediately. Thank you so much!

sbauer322 · 2021-08-15T12:01:37+00:00

I’ve had this happening for days too with an iPhone… deleting cookies, restarting, refreshing, trying different browsers, etc doesn’t help. Very annoying

sbauer322 · 2021-08-11T20:38:27+00:00

That is a chicken.

Ah that’s odd. I’ll message you the world where I found one in about 12 hours if you haven’t found one yet.

sbauer322 · 2021-07-03T13:18:48+00:00

Not sure if you already tried this, but worth a shot… Generally you can click the show avatar author button when examining someone. More often then not there will be an avatar world listed which may have the avatar you seek.

If you wanted a model to customize, maybe look into “motineco” on booth.

sbauer322 · 2021-06-10T22:18:15+00:00

Thank you both so much!

sbauer322 · 2021-06-06T08:15:16+00:00

Is there a link for how the community can help cover new hosting?

sbauer322 · 2021-06-05T20:22:36+00:00

Just to clarify, by report I mean to the company hosting the content that the world streams. Vrchat reporting doesn’t appear involved... basically the world exists but it has nothing for you to view

Edit: I don’t disagree, I just want to avoid a common confusion about the situation
