  • After watching the video I’m not certain what it could be, but I’ve heard similar before from my printer so I’ll list them in order of sound similarity:

    • My X belt wasn’t fully aligned in its track and it was rubbing on the side, which caused a similar clicked noise when any X move occurred.
    • When there too much pressure in the hot end (from a clog, low temp, or too close to the bed, etc), I’ve seen the filament “kicking back” out of the extruder. Watch for a sudden backwards jerk of the filament.
    • My X stepper motor made some terrible noises after tightening the associated belt. I’m not sure what’s causing it exactly, but I’m replacing the stepper soon.
