Resonance coming from rattleling bearing balls in X-carriage
Not so much a question but more a heads up for others that might be in this rabbit hole....
I am chasing noise in my EVA3 printhead for a while now. I expected a missed nut somewhere in the head and disassembled the head, reassembled and still hear this rattle in the head. I decided to re-print the main parts again and when assembled without the mgn12 carriage, there is no rattle. There is a rattling noise in the carriage however, due to the space between the balls in the carriage. I can mitigate this by adding grease, but this also significantly increases friction.
I also assume that my resonance "issues" (I still see some weird spikes in the graphs, so I just don't make the graphs anymore,... prints look super nice, though) are due to the spacing between the balls...
(and Yes, I tried stuffing in another ball, but that is just to tight and doesn't work)
