Noise-Reduction

Hi,
I now finished my Rostock and it works realy well.
I am just thinking about how to reduce the noise generated while printing.

Any ideas?

Well, I don't have Rostock, but I'm planning on building one in the next few months. Assuming you're using LM8UU's, you could give this a try: [www.thingiverse.com]. I have cheap LM8UU's on my Prusa, and they are definitely the greatest source of noise from my printer, so I want to try out those igus bushings. The other thing that helps (at least with Cartesian bots) is a reduced acceleration setting. Also, I think there's something on Nophead's blog about shorting a certain resistor on the Pololus to make them run quieter. Hopefully one of these helps you out!

Ooops, forgot the link to nophead's blog: [hydraraptor.blogspot.com]. Interesting reading, but probably better for someone with some serious patience with soldering, and preferably without a coffee habit. Those tiny resistors require a steady, steady hand.
