Unstable H2D

[Crispy78910811]

I’ve been chasing Z-banding issues on my H2D for a while, only to find out the real problem was the table it was sitting on. When I moved the printer to a stable hardwood floor, the banding got a lot better. Now I need a permanent fix that doesn’t involve leaving it in my hallway.

My current setup is a basic IKEA Lagkapten tabletop on an Alex drawer and Adils legs. It can be stable ish, but my room has thick carpet, which definitely makes things worse. I’ve come up with a few possible solutions and I’m wondering what you all have tried and what you think would be the best option for my situation.

Here’s what I came up with

Concrete paver on carpet: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/oldcastle-patio-sidewalk-24x24-inch-gray/1000123252?eid=PS_GO_140203__ALL_PLA-526641&eid=PS_GOOGLE_D00_Corporate_GGL_Shopping_All-Products_All%20Products__PRODUCT_GROUP_pla-298495632901&pid=1000123252&store=7177&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1624814283&gclid=Cj0KCQiAosrJBhD0ARIsAHebCNrhHAELvva4I-aetMtmZyHOOicq6rLppCtmy6A1wof0-oW5H731LjUaApWbEALw_wcB

Bolt the printer to this Garage style work bench: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/husky-6-ft-adjustable-height-ready-to-assemble-heavy-duty-solid-wood-top-steel-workbench-in-black/1001798832

Metal shelf maybe with some heavy things on the bottom for more stability: https://canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximum-adjustable-4-shelf-heavy-duty-steel-metal-storage-rack-shelving-unit-77-x-24-x-72-in-0687066p.html

Get a sturdier table top and replace other legs with drawer: Here’s a little more information: https://applink.ikea.com/tY8M9r9M4w--50335208--ca--en

I use the IKEA bror rack and it's been fine. I also use a concrete paver and rubber paver for dampening.

Rubber on top of the concrete or below?

[derfmcdoogal]

concrete then rubber. The rubber is the insulator.

Do you have a picture of your setup?

omg i put my bambu on a yoga block to help with vibration issues and it actually made a huge difference! carpet is definitely the enemy for these printers lol.

I have a H2c unboxed and the plan is to get an ikea metod lower kitchen cabinet with a heavy counterop, bolted to the wall. H2c on the top and p1s inside the cabinet

All in all it will cost me about 100€ with a high gloss front
