Problems printing small objects
November 29, 2012 01:36PM
Hi, I have problems with printing small objects.
I can hear strange noise while printing paths containing lots of small curvy details (example)
When I print the same thing slower (10mm/s) the noise get lost and the movement is smooth, but it really extends the time of print.
I don't know what is the noise caused by.
Please, does anybody know if it is normal or not? Eventually, how to get rid of that noise? And could it destroy the hardware?

The video (especially from 0:28)

I have Orca 0.42

What do you have your printer setting on? Sounds like you are getting some vibration noise amplification.

I have my printer setting on rubber feet, reduces noise greatly, but my motors are not as loud at any speed.

Your acceleration values are very high in comparison to mine.

For a feedrate of 200mm/s I have an acceleration of 100mm/s.

Try a max. acceleration of 250mm/s2 for your 500mm/s feedrate and see if that helps the noise. May be able to use acceleration of 500mm/s2. Pretty sure acceleration should not be higher than max. feedrate.

My best suggestion.
