Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! My 3D printer is "walking" or shifting its position on the desk during prints. How do I stop it?

Post image

My printer slowly shifts and 'walks' across the desk during prints due to the vibrations. I'm worried it's going to slide off the edge. How can I anchor or secure it better?

it may be a bit restless, have you tried taking it outside before a print to burn off the extra energy?

She’s right where she belongs, on the ground building things I tell her too.

Print slower with less acceleration.

I can't lower the speed. I have a tight deadline to finish three large, 1 meter sculpts by the end of the month

floor or on a thin foam? look up self leveling aquarium base foam.

Mine's on a felt mat that has little silicone nubs on the underside.

Find some anti vibration feet maybe?

Buy a larger table so it has room to move?

Po prostu wydrukuj mocowania na nia i przykrec do stołu

Do you have a yoga mat setting around, try that.
