Anti-vibration feet and misconceptions (Vibration Tip)

Thank you for taking the time to explain these points. I’m on a anti-vibration mission myself though in my case it’s more for noise rather than print quality reasons.

I’m running a Bambu A1, I don’t have any issues with print quality, however I need to minimise as much noise transference as possible. I live in an apartment and my neighbour below me is VERY sensitive to noise, and a bit of a psycho.

I have my printer on a pedestal (a drawer unit that typically goes under an office desk), it’s fairly solid and doesn’t really flex at all but it does tend to transfer vibrations to the floor which I need to avoid as much as possible. I’m thinking of getting a 20mm thick steel slab instead of a paver (cleaner appearance = higher “wife approval factor”) and was planning to use some anti vibration feet with this, do you think it would work to stop the transference of sound to the floor?

Since getting my printer I’m desperate to do some longer all-night prints, but I can’t risk a complaint from my witch of a neighbour down below :joy:
