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. Paul ---

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