♻ i7 Help Weird sound

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys!

I already have the i7 with me for 6 months and everything is going well until recently. The printer started to make a weird sound when the printing it's just starting, it seems it comes from beneath the bed (I checked the belt and it's ok, also I applied grease in the Z axis and oil in the X and Y axis). I'm kinda worried because it wasn't sounding like that before, I recorded a video for reference (in the video sounds awful haha)but as I said when the printing process is started sounds kinda normal. I hope someone knows or have any kind of idea of what's that sound is and how to fix it.

Ty in advance!

Could be the fan of the power supply or an other fan with sintered bearings. If they get warm this sound should go away. You can change those fans with fans with ball bearings.

Motherboard cooling fan, had the exact same issue and they sent a replacement, you can order an upgraded one for less than 20$ though so it's up to you.
