v-minion rattling noise
I just realize watching other people’s videos that my v-minion makes an awful amount of noise, especially a rattling one when homing or mesh calibrating.
This is a stock full kit, it’s greased with NLGI-2 lithium grease, there seems not to be any loose screws on the eva (pressed them to test), prints are good so it seems well calibrated… I didn’t use any alignment jig but rails seem to be decently aligned. Oh and I’ve enabled the performance steppers settings.
What is going on?

print faster
every stepper profile has a goldi lock zone where it isnbt so loud
depending on the profile you choosed you need to find this zone
jsut try to print a bit faster

I'm printing at 200mm/s, except first layer on PLA which is set lower -- but the problem I'm seeing is the noise when homing & mesh-leveling
change the homeing speed then

I'm nowhere near the smoothness I see in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQMcs3vpjSo

had no idea you could change the homing speed... will try, thx @Helge Keck 🙇♂️
[bed_mesh]
speed: 300

speed: 300

max_z_velocity: 35
play with these valuesmetropolitan-bronze•2y ago
as we're on it, what speed are you printing PLA?
i dont print PLA

PETG? I'm asking max speed here
500mm/s

holy guacamole
up to
with the minon you can print that fast
metropolitan-bronze•2y ago
okay, I'll try to increase all speeds (by order of magnitude, I see)
dont try this at first try
you need to do this step by step
metropolitan-bronze•2y ago
config by config, or you mean increase each speed incrementally?
you need also a cooling solution that can handle these speeds
and the extruder, hotend, .....

it's the stock LGX Lite + BMO setup
ok, then you cant print that fast

(I know, you're big fan of Orbiter 2.0 + Rapido, just give me time)
no problem, start slowly, the speed comes by its own

I think I've printed at 300mm/s nicely
alright, after quite some testing I've boiled it down to

quite an improvement in noise and speed
also, the 5015 blower fan is the source of rattling -- can't wait to get my delta 4028 I ordered to RR
I did put some masking tape on the joint with the duct but still
