At the moment I'm only using the XYZware at the moment I have two books which I will be looking through as they might have details on this

I just add an extra header to the gcode from slic3r (actually i have added a header to automatically be generated in slic3r. I assume after you were to insert the header, gcode commands would be recognized by the printer. I am not an expert though. Maybe someone w/ more experience can correct me if I am wrong. Here is the header in the picture.

If not then you could manually edit a gcode file with some test commands and then feed it to XYZWare... but I remember you needed to do some bas64 encoding and other stuff to get it to take it. I only ever used XYZWare for a few days before making the switch to Repetier.

G1 X200 F4000 - where 4000 is the speed in mm/min) and see which speeds result in more noisy traveling. On my printer, values around 3600-3900 in the X axis tend to be really loud, so I've configured the slicer to do travel moves always at higher values. It does make a difference.

Mine in fact can get really load when it is moving fast and far in one direction (as in homing the printer). And yes sometimes on axis is loader than another. It is just how to printer is designed. If you like there are various solution like a recent post that shows how to use ninjaflex to print rubber pads  between the frame and the stepper motors or just try plastic spacers on the outside (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:407970) if you want to try. So unless your printer is extremely noisy it is most likely nothing

I have a slight worry about my printer might be nothing but worth an ask.

When it is running sometimes there is louder than normal sounds if you know what I mean

Sometimes it is in just when it is moving in one axis and sometimes it is when its moving in X and Y

Any help would be useful

Thanks guys!!
