kind of a silly topic but I'm curious of others experiences. The part I am printing at the moment is doing repetitive layers and it sounds just like a choo choo train in one area over and over every minute or so.. The other day it damn near nailed a guitar riff from Led Zeppelins "Achilles last stand"spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

I can hear the radio on my steppers. Seriously. At first I thought I must be the only one, but it turns out to be fairly common (other examples here and here).

People also write custom g-code just to play songs on their printers or CNC's. There's a ton of them on youtube. smiling smiley

Good I'm not the only one who seems to get some musical prints. I don't get the radio though

you tend to get radio when adjusting the pololu current pots with a metal screw driver (not advisable)

Raises hand. Circles (or at least curves) are the best sounds IMHO.

I've heard several tales of innocent youtube videos of 3d printers at work getting flagged for copyright violation, usually for obscure electronic dance tracks IIRC smiling smiley
Don't tell the RIAA there's another vector for music piracy out there!

Cheers,
Robin.

P.S. yeah, circles sound cool smiling smiley
