    I added a camera mount to my print bed the other day and now everytime that I print, it sounds like the gears are grinding. I checked the belt tension and it is tight. I don't know what else to check. All my prints print fine.

    Here's a video of what it's doing.


    Any thoughts?

    Your camera mount is stopping the y axis from going to full home (that constant grinding is the printer trying to get to the end stop)

    Take it off and see if you home ok, if no, check the switch

    The Y axis home switch is just under the bed very near to where your frame is mounted. @Geof has it nailed.

    Son of a ...... I can't believe I didn't catch that.

    I went back and looked at the pics and the rounded part is on the top but the screw holes won't line up.
