@dc42 I don't think that is true, or at least not for the one that I have. My printer is on linear rails driven by a belt. That goes for all axis'. I originally modeled my config file off of CNC Kitchen's config for his Cetus, https://youtu.be/WcPyujDF2eU, video for reference. It still gave me the loud noise when operating the stepper motors. I will try to lower the speed and acceleration. Hopefully that works. Thank you all for the help.

@deckingman they are essential with slight variations to there model number. For instance the y stepper motor end in 01N instead of 02N and the Z is 03N. The stepper motor current is set so high on the extruder is because I'm using the orbiter V1.5 and that's there recommended current usage. I will try to up the current and see if that helps.

@phaedrux So what are my options here? Do i need to replace the stepper motors or is this going to happen with any system that I plug into the Duet 3?

@deckingman I would to provide information on the stepper motors but, unfortunately there is no information on these stepper motors. I already looked online for the model number/manufacturer but there is no info. Ill add a picture of the stepper motor for reference.

@phaedrux I enabled stealth chop and its still making the noise, albeit more quite but, it is still significantly louder than expected.

@phaedrux yes it does. I will try to implement that into my printer thank you very much for the help. Just out of curiosity, why does the noise happen from this board? I've ran the machine with its original mainboard, as well as a Mellow Fly E3, and they both sounded alot better in this situation. Is it the stepper motors or something?

@phaedrux That makes sense. 20220628_180132.mp4 here is a quick video of the noise generated by the board (only when the stepper motors are active). My current configuration

@mikeabuilder Just lowered the interpolation to 16 and I would move the motors at all or at least it struggled to move them. I originally had it set to 32 and it worked moving the motors but the mainboard is making a loud noise, or at least it sounds like its the mainboard.

@phaedrux The only reason I put such a high microstepping is because as I mentioned above, I found a post on this forum with the config files for the cetus and I copy and pasted most of the config. I originally started at 32 but it still gave the loud noise. I will try lowering ever further. Here is the results of the M122 command.

@jay_s_uk Im using moons motors type:17HT4003-02N(I believe the stepper motors are made special for the Cetus because I already looked for the model number online). I have the version 1.01 of duet mini 5+ Wifi. The config file is in the top line. Im not sure how to show the whole config on the page.

Hi, im new to 3d printing and even newer to using RepRap firmware. I googled solutions for the problem that I was having and the only thing I found close to my issues was a forum topic called "controlling a cetus 3d with a duet3d 0.8.5". I tried applying their configuration files to my current system but for whatever reason, the board still sounds like tea pot kettle when I move any of the stepper motors. When i first turn on the machine in idle, the machine is quite but, as soon as i move any of the stepper motors, the machine begins to make a high pitch screeching and continues to do so until I turn off the machine. It sounds like the screeching is coming from the board itself but,I could he mistaken and the it could be the stepper motors making the noise. I am currently using my Cetus Mk3 with the duet mini. The board is being directly powered by a 350w 24v psu. Is there anything that I am missing here or should be looking out for?
