Vibration Senstivity`

When I bought my 3D printer I was surprised about how violent the shaking of the machine was. My main concern was that it would shake itself apart, but it was also obnoxios to listen to and I worried about the effect it was having on print quality. So I looked around for a solution and found these vibration pads for washing machines.

My printer still moves, but its now a gentle swaying and the noise is much better. I can’t really tell if it had much impact on print quality (I never tried to do a comparison test.)

If I have concerns about the shaking of the glow forge I will pick up another pack and forget about it. I’m hoping the glow forge is more solid like my shapeoko 3 cnc machine and won’t require the pads.
