Topic: scratchy noise

hi there, since i tightened the belts from my sd2 i got a scratchy noise when the Extruder moves towards the home Position on the y axis. curiously this wont appear when i manually move the carriage from one end to another. this seems to appear only during a print.
i just dont have any idea where this Comes from. if anybody have an idea, i attached a video

Re: scratchy noise

Try loosening off the belts a little.

This is a crowd funding thing that I'm running: http://www.gofundme.com/bvi140 It's for pretty selfish reasons tongue
