I thought my motor bearings needed oil - odd since they’re brand new.
Turns out the “whirring” noise is the motor c clip making contact with the boardnamics xl mount plate.
I see 3 options
- File down c clip (making it super difficult to service motor in future)
- Washers between motor and mount plate (eww)
- Dremel out a bit of the inside surface of xl mount plate.
I’m leaning toward the dremel option but I need some second opinions.
