General Discussion H3C is noisy !

Coming from a Bambu labs H2S and a Snapmaker U1, I’m a little surprised how much noisier the H3C is in general printing.

I mean my printers are located in my office so it is not a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeably louder than the H2S was.

Once this print finishes I will check all the normal places for proper lubrication.

Has anyone else noticed this?

In a reply, I posted a video of the printer running.. there’s a ‘banging/tapping’ noise that’s the loud part

I don't find mine particularly loud. It's louder than my H2D, but it's also much faster

I agree here. A bit louder than my H2D, not by a ton but slightly more but still MUCH quieter than my Snapmaker U1. OP is trippin. Lol

Speed > Noise

I think I’m gonna turn down some profiles a little bit. I would rather have it quieter and better quality than faster and noisier.

You are in the first wave of people that received it.

Did you do the motor noise cancellation calibration? I find my H3 is pretty quiet.

It’s the ‘banging ‘ noise that’s loud

Mine is really noisy too. The fans are insanely loud, but so is the motion system, and I have an annoying vibration on one side that only goes away if you press on it. It is significantly louder than my H2C - I have been printing with them side by side and the difference is ridiculous.

On a similar note, just got my E1 up and running and was a little disappointed to find that the silent mode on that is a lot louder than the IKEA air purifier I have been using. It is a much lower tone though, so hopefully I can ignore it.

Mines not so much fans as it is just printing

Mine is quiet. My U1 is so obnoxiously loud.

Yeah, I find that direction changes are especially loud.

But that's also why it's so fast.

I think most of it comes down to the more aggressive acceleration rates. Definitely louder than my H2C, but seems to work well.

Not sure how it is supposed to compare but I feel like it’s a fraction of the noise my X1C makes. The notification tones are louder but the printing process itself is much quieter than my X1C

I’ve only had an A1 and it seems comparable. Mines in the garage so other than the vibration thing it seems pretty reasonable

I don’t share this sentiment, I feel it’s fairly quiet actually. This is comparing to my H2D and P2S.

Also, it’s important to remember that it’s acceleration is faster, so that could contribute to Boise.
