Oh wow. That's not an endstop issue but just as loud. First know that this machine is tough and you can do this 100 times without breaking anything (at least worse than it is now).
Well I'm not sure. Often I'll see the video and go "yep. Seen that 100 times". But not this time.
Theory 1: when you put the metal side covers back over the steppers you pinched the X motor cabling (the stepper on the right rear corner). Look to see if any cables are under the cover before you remove it and are being pinched. You may have to repair a wire.
I mean it's certainly an X axis problem. Although the Y axis is pretty noisy also.
Theory 2: your axis are not perpendicular and there is huge friction. Try pushing the head around with power off. You should be able to push it around without moving the printer also (or just barely enough force to also move the printer across the table if you don't hold it). If friction is high then concentrate on that first. No more than one drop of light oil (any mineral oil like 3-in-one or sewing machine oil - but don't use WD40 - WD40 is a cleaner and not a lubricant). Read the installation instructions again about perpendicular axes.
Theory 3: your set screws are loose such that they sometimes grip and someties slip. This seems hard to believe as the axis actually goes backwards sometimes.
If you hadn't just upgraded I would also be suspicious about your stepper drivers overheating but that usually happens after the machine has been printing for 10 minutes. Not right at the start.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
