Creality K1 Intermittent Buzzing (streamable.com)

TLDR: is the buzzing in linked video normal / okay / expected? If not, is there a way to fix it?

I’ve just been putting my Creality K1 through it’s paces, and after using up all the hyper PLA that came with the unit, started printing some inland black basic PLA. Since then, I’ve noticed some buzzing sounds on either pure x axis or pure y axis moves. Video attached showcasing it. It doesn’t seem to create any buzzing on infill moves or perimeters that have a radius. Any straight lines though seem to cause the buzzing. Prints seem okay (though inout shaper seems off for sure looking at corners). I don’t remember it happening with the hyper PLA which I printed at the same speed (I am printing the black inland at higher temp to compensate for reduced flow).

Thanks for any help or feedback! Enjoying the community on Lemmy here so far :)

I have an I3 mega s and my printer makes the same noise on the z-axis when going in a straight line. I never really thought it was odd since it prints just fine. In my experience there isn't any correlation between filament and the noise, it happens with both PETG and PLA. But did notice that on some models it happened more than on other, probably because some models have more single axis paths than others.

Oh that’s interesting. I wonder if it’s a resonance thing / something a little loose. Maybe I’ll try retensioning the belts and see if that helps. If anything works I’ll mention it, just in case it’s related to your buzzing too!
