Vibration and noise at idle

Hi, it appears that the motors keep producing noise after a movement has stopped. Particularly the Y motors. It is mostly noticeable when I press the emergency stop button and everything quiets down except the duet board fans. Is it a normal behavior ?

There is also a general vibration on the machine from the start-up, maybe due to the fans. Thanks.

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for your question. Have you tried disconnecting the fans, to confirm it is not that causing it?

Hi Ryan, thanks for your answer.

Disconnecting the fans has solved the vibration problem completely. These tiny noisy fans seam a bit "cheap" compared to the rest of the hardware that is otherwise really nice. I will probably replace them with silent computer fans and a buck converter (as I noticed they are 24v fans) .

Cheers.
