So I have a tronxy p802ma and I have had it printing really good recently. All of the sudden this week my extruder motor started making some really bad sound, but it still prints fine. I have uploaded a video to streamable. Does anyone know what's causing that. Do I need to check my vref? I'm going to order another motor just in case.

Here is the video

Thanks

Stepper motors make noise this is quite normal.

See Stepper motor music on youtube.

Also listen to The Floppotron
