Put some large rubber feet under printer as suggested earlier... My god this doesn't half make a difference with thumping on the desk! It's amazing how much actually the printer shakes now as well.

Only problem is as this is physically moving, my monitor is bouncing around all over the place now :lol: :roll:

Lots of people say that a concrete plate, like the ones in garden paths, is great to have under the printer. Both for noise and vibrations.

Don't get too excited, there is a long long way to go yet :) @Icky Has been working hard for a long time on making and fixing the files to make them 3-D printable... Check out his giant panda printer he is currently building to print these things out..

my hacked up new spool holder...This one will allow the spool be fitted further towards the front of the printer, you can see the previous one still mounted on the right-hand side...

Now I have to dismantle the printer to change it again :roll: Will probably leave it until I get the replacement MOSFETs...
