Noise during peel

Looking for advise.

Just got my new machine on wednesday and have spent today building some parts.
I am very happy with part results very high quality even at 0.1mm.
Just as good as larger SLA machines i operate.

my question is -

I expect noise as Z motor rise and lower build platform.

I also expect noise as peel motor rise and lower tank but the peel motor seems very loud as tank lowers, almost like motor is having a hard time pulling against the return springs.

I am only building very small parts with small cross sections and the is good peel ok.

Is this louder noise normal?

thanks
Paul

Are you sure you’re not hearing the combination of the Z stepper and the peel stepper working at the same time? First layers (base) get a slightly different ratio of peel-to-Z lowering and can sound pretty loud compared to further layers.

I hear the noise you say but the noise i am hearing is the peel motor only and during the entire build.
It is louder going down than it is going up.
I will take a video and post it today.
It might be normal but i just want to check.

Thanks again for help.

The file size limit on the forum is pretty small. You could upload to YouTube or similar and link here.
