I'm currently running a MakerFarm Prusa i3v 8" that's using a J-Head hot end and a 0.35mm nozzle (I wasn't exactly sure if that stuff was important, but I added it anyways). I've printed an entire 20mm x 20mm calibration cube, but had an issue with the large gear making a clicking noise when moving slowly during the print. There's really no better way to show you all what I mean than with a video, so I have two: Video #1 (Dropbox) Video #2 (Dropbox) The issue, as you can see, started after half of the cube had been printed. The noise was not present until 10 seconds before I started recording, but remained for the rest of the print and kept doing it during my next print. It doesn't seem to effect the print, it's just really annoying. Any ideas, anyone? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384319#msg-384319 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:35:24 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384559#msg-384559 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384559#msg-384559 Zulfe Printing Thu, 17 Jul 2014 16:57:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384484#msg-384484 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384484#msg-384484 diytechshop Printing Thu, 17 Jul 2014 14:34:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384319#msg-384319 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,384319,384319#msg-384319
