Position of X1C feet

Bambu Lab X1 Series Bambu Lab X1C

I am buying the X1C in a month. I want to get a concrete slab to put underneath and plan to paint it with"granite" paint so it looks nicer.

I don’t want to paint under the X1C feet because of potential squeaking noises if it vibrates against the paint.

It says online that the Bambu is 15.3"x15.3" (389mm). Can somebody confirm the width and tell me how far in is a leg from the two sides it is closest to. Inches or cm/mm is fine.

Thanks

The feet seem to be centered on a 345mm square, with each foot being 30mm in diameter.

Regarding the possibility of squeaking I think you might be over thinking it.

Thanks.

I had a fan on a small table before, then at some point I painted the table and the fan would make an annoying noise when it was on. I would have to tilt the fan a bit and then put it flat again, which loosened the legs from the paint to make the noise stop. Not really a squeaky noise but more of a click.

I just thought that I might run into a similar situation with the printer which would defeat the purpose of the concrete slab.

If you’re planning to print PLA, you’ll only hear the fans

If you put it in a different mode you will hear it, but I don’t know of any material that can go that fast reliably, without causing extrusion issues eventually
