Hi RickM
My printer is a bit noisy, steppers are at 32 microsteps so that helps a bit but with the belts, and the bearings running on the aluminium extrusion it's definitely not as quiet as the 3DR. That said it's nowhere near as noisy as my Huxley. I'm sure if you used 20mm stainless steel square tube for the towers it would be quieter. There seems to be some reason steel on aluminium gets noisy!!!
