Is that dark foiled material or just the light of the shot that makes it look that way?

I have a question, would it be effective on the outside of the case, or is it more effective inside? I feel like it would be easier placed on the outside.
it works by adding mass so that the wide flat sections are harder to “excite” - it will work just as well on the outside. Probably better because it’s easier to apply properly.
anyone add it to the outside with some measureable results?
Hi, just a quick question, did you remove the panel to do it that tidy? or it can be done with just moving the print bed out of the way? I wanted to do this but a bit reluctant to remove the panel ,seems a huge pain in the butt.
I just simply moved the bed all the way up when diing the bottom part and moved it all the way down to do the rest. It was pretty easy tbh

thank you so much, will try that now!
May I ask one more thing? what is the tall Black box with wire at your top right corner? is that an air box pulling air to the carbon filter?
Its a bento box i got from voxelpla. It has a hepa13 filter and a box for activated carbon to circulate the air inside the machine when i print with toxic filaments like ASA. The reason being is when printing long prints with it, the air inside can seep out through gaps in the machine and i can smell it in my room, and the carbon filter in the case is only used when the print is finished. So using the bento box allows me to clean up the air during the print.

anyone else buy it from the amazon link? Mine just came and it’s a mess. like tar coming off the sides. I wasn’t expecting that. Is this normal? lol
i guess because im a newb here i cant post images or links
just roll the tar back with your fingers. If that makes sense. Its common even for high end deadener.
oh ok, i wasn’t sure since it looked really sticky and I was thinking it was going to be real messy. i’ll play around with it some tomorrow. Might attach it to some foam board so it’s not permanently attached to the glass or printer.
Thanks

Should still work great for sound deadening. Maybe nit so great for vibration dampening though.
i ended up attaching it directly to the glass. it seemed more rubbery than tar and comes off if needed. i did the top only.
I noticed the bottom(under the build plate inside) seems super thin plastic and hollow sounding so i might do that tomorrow and see how that has an effect next. printing out an exhaust muffler now and does seem to be a bit quieter already, less high pitch when the head moves rapidly across the gantry. i ran the calibration so i wonder if that has an effect on calibrating.

Just checking in, has the adhesive held up weld after all this time?
Any sagging, slipping or has the adhesive failed?
