the crackling sound is a dead giveaway for a cracked or perished belt. i installed a 1000kw belt on an extruder, it was perished. The sound pressure from the cracking was over 200dB. OMG, loud. My advice is just get a new belt anyway , i made a special tool to get it on with . if you want i can post a photo and dimensioned sketch
@@colinanderson6831 I would be interested yes. On mine, I think it's both the pulley's ball bearings that are damaged and the bearings from the pedal shaft (when I stand up, it makes a loud squeeking noise every time I go down on one side). The belt itself doesn't seem cracked at all.
Thanks for posting this.
I just bought an used m3 and notice this crackling sound. I'm hoping it's just the belt for mine too.
Was it the belt?
I have the sound too. Was it the belt?

What distance was on display? The ODO I mean when this started?
