    I have had my R1 for a month now, and it just recently started making this loud noise, I think from one of the servos... Im not sure if it is normal or not. It doesn't do it all the time and it has only just started doing it, so I'm not sure what is causing it.

    The following video was taken while it was making the noise.

    Steppers! Right... I knew that... Anyway, this noise is something out of the ordinary? Does it mean that one of the steppers is dying?

    It may mean something is awry. That is not a normal noise, but if it is not affecting prints it is at least not immediately fatal..
