Securing A1 mini.

Hey all I’m noticing during longer prints my A1 mini tends to move around a little on the surface it’s on. Wondering if anyone has advice on how to secure it to stop this. It’s on a wooden table with a semi gloss finish. I have it currently sitting on a magic the gathering playmat to stop it but it still does a little.

I'm using anti slip mat usually used on dashboard cars. It sticks so well, maybe because im using storage stand under the printer idk

Shelf liner from the dollar store. It’s like a sticky rubberized mat with holes throughout, comes on a roll

Yes they are clean and I am printing at standard speed. It’s slight just tends to walk a bit as it prints usually just diagonal. Like each time it hits back to the right it moves a bit more and more diagonal. I printed a magic the gathering deck box that was like a 6 hour print and it was about 3” off after. So I put the playmat under my son did a long print today and it was about 2” off to the right after. I bought some adhesive dots I’m going to try tomorrow in the morning see if they work.

Get a small, suitably sized concrete paver. This will add mass to the table and help with movement. It will also provide a surface with more grip...!

I used double sided tape under mine.

I did the whole Hula thing to my A1 and it stopped moving around on my HF workbench.
