Quiet as a mouse!
My Prusa MK2 printer is great but boy was it loud, in power mode the kitchen table telegraphed the sound of the stepper motors to the far reaches of the house so much that people all through the house couldn't sleep over night.
However, I had a set of 4 matching springs tangling up the spring stash (doesn't everyone have one of those?) and once I found them it didn't take long to squirrel this design out- it's so quiet now that I'm still surprised when it starts printing....
