My kitchen is shaking from infills… I can feel the floor vibrating!

You need to reduce the acceleration, speed, or both.

3

Or faster. I just need to be away from resonance…

You need a better kitchen.

Perhaps I should move the printer out of the kitchen before my wife reaches the same conclusion. :slight_smile:

6

Or put it on a rubber mat covered with a towel that should help some what. or even just a towel.

7

The printer is already on several layers of cushion foam.

I think, the main issue is that my kitchen has a high Q.

Accel/jerk may need to be turned down, but I find that maximizing speed (actually step rate, you could look at 400-steps/rev motor upgrades) is the best way to minimize resonance. Well, that and using a printer that isn’t made of wood.

@Joseph_Chiu you need a hard deading material rather than soft springy. As that just amplifies the resonance.

@Joseph_Chiu put the printer on cork legs. Or on plain old books - the thicker the better. We used to put subwoofers on volumes of Lenin - worked like a charm :slight_smile:
Here the frequency your kitchen resonates to is much higher of course, but as Nigel Dickinson suggests, you need some deading material between printer and surface.

Just let the wife sit on the printer and enjoy the ride. :wink: Buy only if the printer can support her weight. (Yikes!)

I have seen posts and projects for vibration protection on the motor mounts too, but that is to make quieter motors. Some of those use cut cork sheets and some use printed abs.
