I was considering getting one of these, but the cost seemed prohibitive. So, off to Thingiverse.
Found this excellent model
Then added this enhancement for durability.
I grabbed a pack of adhesive foam rubber from amazon and now I’m ripping in style (and safety)
This is a great idea!
To make it even easier:
1 inch Felt Pads
I inch printable labels
1 inch wooden disks
No cutting required.
So, while the flex hinge on the SP4 is fantastic, it can sometimes be annoying when I try to use the pen at a low angle. The pressure of my palm against the screen would push the hinge further back as the aluminum hinge doesn't provide enough friction.
I bought these to try out, and while they are much thicker than I would like, it does provide enough friction.
As you can see, however, the hinge doesn't fully close so I probably won't keep it on for too long.
If anyone has better suggestions / fixes let me know!
It looks like it might be missing the tiny little circular rubber stopper that goes behind the handle. Hold it open and look behind it, and compare with the passenger side. Something like this might fix the issue.
You could make a simple wood frame like this one made out of old pallets for the glass table top https://cdn.instructables.com/FJ8/RUGM/IATH9OM9/FJ8RUGMIATH9OM9.LARGE.jpg.
If you got some glass pads and put them on the frame you could just move the glass into your bedroom away from the kids when not in use.

Quality is basically the same on the prints that I have done. I'm finishing a project right now but then I will print another benchy.

If you don't mind the eyesore, you could buy some adhesive sheets made out of silicone, rubber, or foam and cut a strip to go around your bottles. Maybe even something like a couple of woven fabric bandaids would give you enough of a grip.
Rubber feet like these?

Small feet should eliminate the wobble. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BPQMV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_puYRAbNXFDDER
I put this on the bottom of all my gear. Plus, everything is safely tucked away under the speaker stands I made.
> If you mean the version where the doorstop prevents micro vibrations and the iron will suck up cosmic rays thus enhancing the sound, then definitely not.
Scared me for a second there lol
These are perhaps over what you'd call "cheap" but they're expressly designed to absorb vibration.
https://amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-Skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B003IMJ3S2
They come in different sizes and weight ratings matter. Too much, or too little (!) weight and they're ineffective.
Maybe try the yoga mat / kitchen drawer stuff first, and keep these in mind as plan B.

Saw these while I was in Japan and knew they would make great speaker stands.

To keep my speakers stable. Took me so long to find desktop speaker stands at a decent price that look good.
This was also my first turntable. May I recommend a small upgrade that will improve the sound quality?
This may also be a better solution to your speaker / turntable configuration given the limited space:
Shelves
Padding
You can place the speakers on the top of the Kallax with the turntable (normally not recommended), and then cut the anti-vibration padding to fit your needs.
In any event, don't pay the haters any mind, and welcome to the hobby!
You can help with the vibration by putting her bed and yours on sorbothane pads. Sorbothane is the brand name for really really soft rubber which will stop vibrations being transmitted through it.
You can measure "air vibration" with a microphone. Sound = vibrating air after all.
You can use an app on your phone to measure floor and ceiling vibration using its accelerators.
Sure thing:
Hope this is helpful.
From the pic, looks like the feet are connected to the shelf pieces but not the desk itself. That's a good choice in case you ever need to adjust move the stands.
You might consider ordering some sorbithane pads to place between the feet and desk, to make them anti-skid and to eliminate any vibrations caused by uneven contact. Check Amazon, it should be fairly inexpensive.

https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stick-Noise-Dampening-Bumpers-12-pieces/dp/B001WAK6DS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498586103&sr=8-3&keywords=rubber+bumper
These should work. It's always nice to have some of these laying around for random things that need feet.
This is not a mat suggestion, but if you are interested in reducing noise, here is something that worked for me. I put these dampers under each leg of my Kurt Kinetic trainer and they work great to prevent vibration from transferring into the floor.
You might be able to use these in conjuction with a mat.
If it was a piece of machinery I'd have gone for a foam pad like this. Ideally that's what you'd stick between the source of the vibration and the ground. But it should work for your bed.
You can get puck shaped rubber feet too.
Depending on the vibration you'll want a different hardness. As this is just transmitted vibrations, these may be a little stiff, but might be worth a go.
I can't really vouch for either of these items in particular. And they do seem to report a bit hit and miss with the reviews. I suppose the hard part will be making sure that your bed stays on top of them and doesn't crush the material they've made from.
Also, make sure you don't have the bed against the wall, because the vibrations will be transmitted up that too.
If you want a low tech solution, cut tennis balls in half and stuff them with a firm foam.
I suggest a small cooling pad between the two. Basically anything nice an cheap that has lil legs that can raise up the WiiU, and still allow controllers to fit on the other side. Whatever you get, get some felt pads for under the feet!. Heck your Ikea chairs scraping on the kitchen floor will thank you.
This is what I use with mine. If you find that it flips off too easily just add some grip to it. It’s worth it. I love this light!!!
Nice! Can you upload it on Thingiverse? Or upload it somewhere and post a link? I have a stand for this reason and it sucks. Laptop is always falling over.
Edit: I did put some of those clear rubber feet on the bottom of it which helps a ton. Could work for you as well...
https://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JAW454
Try looking for some stick on thin rubber feet from amazon.
Like these: https://www.amazon.com/VOVOV-Self-adhesive-Rubber-Bumpons-diameter/dp/B016GWHSBE/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1482280186&sr=8-20&keywords=small+rubber+feet
Bumpers I believe. Like this?
The Amazon link to the lights is in that post (make sure you clip the coupon, it knocks them down a buck or two, so I think they end up being $18), I'll assume you can find zipties, and this is the adhesive non-slip, just cut to fit (make the length starting from the lens of the light, but stopping before the butt - the butt screws up and down to cover the charge port, so you want it to spin freely):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SL0KJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Buy a big pack of zipties, you may have to tweak slightly a couple times to get it right where you want it (make sure you position them so that you can get at the charge port). One ziptie goes on either side of the wheel axle, so the light doesn't slide forward or back, stays right alongside the tire, max protected. The pocket holder on the flashlight is used to hold one ziptie, and there's a little depression on the light body below the lens that holds the other.
that's kind of vague. something like this maybe?
Ohh okay I see what you're talking about yeah I would just put some adjustable feet on it

I'm betting they are rubber bumpers, but I would be interested to know which ones he is using as well, I haven't been able to find ones that fit well yet.
I added rubber pads to the bottom of my PS4 and it vastly improved how hard the fan had to work to keep it cooled. Something like this.
ah, good good. Sorry if it seemed patronizing, I just never really know what anyone's knowledge/experience is with this stuff, if any. Seems like you know what you're doing though.
How are the rubber feet on the underside? if they've gon missing, that can cause the machine to sit too low on the surface, not allowing enough airflow underneath. Maybe adding some thicker feet like these sticky ones would help, or suggest a "extended battery" like this (not that specific one, just an example), those kinda prop up the back, allowing for better airflow when the cooling pad isn't around.
It's, uh, super heavy. Can you trust me when I say it's roughly cut, and has these feet? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001W6Q4U6/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1977604522&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00BM2BRJ8&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=SFE3MR5K8HRAYKA7P58Z
I believe this will let you build at least 20 keyboards :D https://www.amazon.com/SJ5302-Clear-Bumpon-Blister-Bumpons/dp/B01ACPT2LU
Or this kind of pads may be even better https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Self-Stick-Non-Slip-Surface-Grip/dp/B000SL0KJM/
Well, it's a much easier problem to solve :). If your hinges were noisy, lube em. If you wanted to slow the door closing down, cabinet door hinges are made that have dampeners in them, but they are very expensive.
Just quieting down the closing of the door, piece o' cake. Just order online or go to any nearby hardware or craft or art store, and get some of these and stick them to the upper and lower corners of the door on the opposite side from the hinges.
Sure. Little small clear rubber/vinyl "bumpers" you'd think to put on kitchen cabinet doors to absorb the noise, or on the bottom of DVD players, etc. I usually see them in the furniture/hardware section of stores like Walmart, the local hardware store, etc.
The ones I got at WalMart are Self Touch brand, they come in a pack of 20, and are 1/4 inch. Self stick (which means they have adhesive on the back -- keep this in mind). They look a lot like these. I thought they were the perfect size, but again I saw a mark on the right side of my screen the other day so they might not be (time will tell -- I cleaned it off, we'll see if it comes back). Ace and 3M also make bumpers/spacers.
They also have self stick felt pads in these sections, but unfortunately the ones I've seen are brown or green rather than black, and plus they compress more easily than the rubber bumpers.
I've also read of people using the feet from their XBOX 360s or their Wiis. See also the neogaf thread regarding the screen scratching issue (Google will turn it up for you).
Hope that helps.
Perhaps you can buy something like these:

might also work as substitutes. I searched for clear rubber pads.
I used these: , replacing the included screws with stainless steel.
Look up "speaker isolation pads". For example:

https://www.amazon.com/Isolate-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation-Circular/dp/B0042U8P9C/
i've tried a few things, including a fix that was suggested here. that fix worked a little too well for me—i live in a hot climate and when i used those pads, the shade got stuck, i could barely open it.
ultimately, i ended up using this stuff. i cut it to size and stick on the edge where the shade closes, like this (i stick one pad on each side). it's not perfect but it seems to work best for me.
I don't use a door but it just sits there. The only thing between some rubber stoppers to discourage sliding. Works perfectly by the time the weight of my Vesa mounst and PC are on top.

[Logitech G920] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Dual-Motor-Feedback-Driving-Responsive/dp/B016LI8SCG?th=1) - Best setup I could find for under $500+. I really like it. Solid quality, holds up to (ab)use well.
Rubber Pads - I put these on the wheel and shifter to help hold it to the desk better. I was dealing with sliding without them. I use the flat ones on the underside of the mounts, which press against the top of my desk.
[Half Keyboard] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D6NTPWH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - Gives some extra buttons close to your wheel since you'll lose out on some hotkeys.
[Desk Brackets] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYL14WV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - I mounted these to studs in my wall, and on the underside of my desk. I keep my screens wall mounted, and my PC on a platform under my desk. These keep the desk super stable.
edit: Added a piece of equipment.

You can probably get these all online, but Lowe's was cheaper.
2 x 3.5" tarp hooks - https://www.lowes.com/pd/National-Hardware-Tarp-Hook/1000490357
2 x 1/4-20 nuts - just check the assorted nuts area
2 x 1/4-28 nuts - just check the assorted nuts area
2 x 1/4" Fender Washer - just check the assorted nuts area
2 x furniture glides with 1/4-20 threading - the ones I got at lowe's were Softtouch 4603695LW just look in the area where the other furniture felt bottoms etc are, I used these for reference (can't find the lowe's listing online) https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Leveling-Glides-Straight-Furniture/dp/B001W6Q4U6
The tarp hooks are just the right height that when you mount the headrest to the lower holes and slip the hooks under the back, the top holes pop just above the chair allowing you to attach the glides to hold it steady from the top of the chair with tension.
Headrest comes with 2 screws, use those to attach to the tarp hook with fender washer + the 1/4-28 nuts, hook into back, then attach the glides and nut them into place as well.
Guy on amazon reviews suggested it, and it worked out very wel. You can't adjust the depth of the headrest, which is the only complaint I would leverage, but I feel it's at a fine position, and you can easily move it up and down while attached. Overall it's a way cheaper alternative to the other ones designed 'for' an Aeron
Yes, it's a bit loose. My solution is to stick one of these rubber stickers inside the tip of the fork. It adds enough traction to help things stay in place.
They'e not screws, but these
On the one hand, hey... free subwoofer!
Kidding.
A couple of home remedy fixes combined might tame the resonant frequencies (it's too bad you don't have the Ultimate stands that you can fill with sand - that's quite helpful).
I'd suggest making "trivet sandwich". Start with some 1/2" cork trivets (IKEA has them if you've got one nearby). Cut 2 pairs out to the shape of the base of your monitor. Then put four large sorbothane disks between each pair. Between the cork, the sorbothane and the air-gap, you'll cut down the amount of sympathetic vibration significantly. Perhaps not the most handsome solution, but inexpensive and guaranteed to help way more than MoPads.
EDIT: hasty diagram i made.
Team invisibility yo! I could be the worlds first ever nudist bank robber :p They both look like a fantastic prize, but the coasters get my slight preference because they are truly limited edition. I can't exactly get them very easily later :) (P.S. The one thing I would add to the coasters are little rubber feet. It gives them traction and provides an air barrier for condensation if you have a cold drink. Here's some I found on Amazon )
Edit: a word
That's normal. You just need to lift your hand a bit sometimes. What I did was put a little sticker on my W key - similarly to what P1SONET said about getting lost and the F key has a little bump on it, I use the sticker with my fingertips to find the W key and get back into position. With heavy use, it comes off sometimes but I just put a new one on and it works great for me.

I recommend getting some rubber feet nubbies like these: 1/2" Rubber Bumpers, Pack of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006Z7B16Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_m3zzybEX8ZPHH
That dresser is absorbing a lot too. You need stands or put some these sorbothane pucks under them.
I think my bookshelf speakers are slightly larger than average, basic 2 way speakers with a 6.5 inch midrange. My subwoofers are pretty big and heavy.
For normal listening and movies it isn't bad. But if you play something with really heavy bass the vibrations become noticeable. I'm still conflicted about the setup myself but I am not unhappy.
I purchased some cork from home depot to try to reduce vibrations and it is okay but not great
I think the next step is possibly some type of Sorbothane. Apparently it is amazing for isolation BUT you need to do calculations based on the weight of your speakers to determine exactly how much you need to use.

Another alternative I am looking at is purchasing a set Isoaccoustics. They look like a gimmick but they got pretty good reviews, and they would also raise my bookshelfs to ear level.

Calculate the mass of your printer and get the appropriate durometer feet. Isolating the printer's vibrations from the table it is on / the frame of the building helps significantly.
Not very loud, after I put these under it: http://www.amazon.com/Isolate-It-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation/dp/B0042U8P9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383223221&sr=8-1&keywords=isolate+it
You'll need at least one d20 and one d6, though it can be helpful to have one for each player. You'll read the 6 face of the d6 as a 5+keep rolling.
I'd suggest playing it a few times and seeing if it becomes a regular thing for your table before buying a bunch of tokens or counters. You can get the same effect by just writing on the character sheet, or using Post-It Notes or some other homemade method for now.
Torg Eternity can definitely played Theater of the Mind but a lot of folks like to have something more visual. Just like any other RPG, you can use whatever works, like Lego minifigs, random game pieces, homemade tokens, etc. I have all the tokens because I get the Kickstarter box sets, but in the past I've made my own character tokens with online art, a 1" hole punch, and some of these.
I wonder if something like this would work?

1- I bet you can get away with some small rubber feet and no screws. That would keep it from sliding around. Once you got everything on the desk, I think you'd be fine. If you're more comfortable with more, then screws would be fine (don't forget to drill a pilot hole).
2- At 1 3/4" thick, I think you'll be fine without it.
3- See number 2
That piece is unfinished. You'll want to finish the wood with something. Natural Danish oil would be the easiest. But if you want more of a film on it, then I'd suggest polyurethane.
I've been considering getting some of those rubber feet you see on the bottom of some coasters or inside drawers to help the board stay in place better.

I have a desk very similar to this and I love it. The clear glass one is cheaper right now though.

I have been waiting 7 weeks for mine, and I have about 2 left (I got the pre-assembled one). Here are the upgrades I am planning, based on joining the Slack channel, reading the Facebook group, etc. I recommend checking out those sites as well.
I also have an enclosure for my kickstarter 3d printer, which is going to relocate to where my Replicator v1 is (which will go in a box) after my Prusa i3 mk2 arrives. I think an enclosure is a must have if you are printing ABS, otherwise you may have layer adhesion issues, especially if you have a drafty room (I do). If you are just printing PLA, PETG, or Flex you probably won't need one. There are a million different designs with Ikea Lack tables that people use. I had some spare 2x4's and plywood so I just built my own.
These are all fairly minor upgrades. Unlike most sub $500 printers, you don't need a lot of upgrades to make the printer usable and it really does well just out of the box.
I put Sorbothane pucks under the stock feet and that damped out a lot of the vibrations/noise. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042U8P9C/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note that that is exposed Sorbothane (looks and feels like a gummy bear) and can stain a surface. Just put Saran Wrap under it or 3D print a little cup to set them in.
No need to go crazy tapping plastic. Get something called a "Chicago screw" aka a "Sex bolt" (haha) aka a "binding screw".
They come in alumninum, brass, and probably best for you, various types of plastic. On the screwhead on the bottom just affix rubber dots of the type they use for hanging pictures on walls or as feet for various niknaks.

My Dual CS-5000 is crazy vibration prone so a wall mounted shelf was my best option. Opted for a sandwich of two 3/4" hardwood ply boards with sorbothane hemispheres in between. Works like a charm.

It happens from the raised boarder around the touch screen. What me and my friends did is we got rubber bumpers and put them in the top left and right corners of the top screen, it still closes and goes to sleep and it stops that annoying scratch line from showing up.

I also have a set of ninja flex ones. They are not completely noise dampening, but my noise requirement are different from most people's. I'll push the STLs today or tomorrow for those. I believe there was another guy here that did the feet in OpenSCAD for it.
Do you recommend an entire pad, or just using something like these just for the corners? Now I'm thinking about wallmounts where the speaker is sitting on a plane and using the sorbothane discs in the corners.
The cheapest solution is obviously the clear rubber domes used for things like dampening cabinet doors. I was just looking for something a little nicer. :D

The cheapest thing to do would be dust it out every so often. If it's out of warranty, reapplying the thermal paste might not be a bad idea either.
Beyond that, you can try to augment the standoffs with little stick-on rubber feet(a 4pk should only cost $3 in a store like Home Depot or Walmart).
That should increase the airflow under the chassis.

On a serious note, you can grab some anti-skid rubber pads from amazon, remove the old rubber pads from underneath your keyboard, and just stick on some new ones.
Haven't tried it but i figure it would do the job.

> drum tacs.
Would these work instead of paying $20 for 4 Drumtacs?
Here's what i use. They stick to the bottom and the console "sticks" more to the table thus not sliding like coins or soda caps could. They've been working great!
I'll take a picture when I'm home later.
Amazon Protective Pads
Just get something like this either online or at your local big box store.
A much cleaner solution is the little round clear dots you can buy to stick on doors to make them not slam. They're like a $1 and would look great.

Canadian link, but here you go!
It's a rubber pad that goes in between the glass top and the metal frame of the TORSBY table. I need to replace the ones on my table and don't know what to call them and I can't find them on any IKEA replacement part sites.
EDIT:
bought some of these:https://www.amazon.com/Stick-Glass-Protective-Pads-Pkg-Clear/dp/B004BPQMV6
might also work as substitutes. I searched for clear rubber pads. THANKS

4 under each speaker
I was thinking the same thing. Try these Chair Leg Floor Protectors for about $5

Auralex MoPAD worked "ok" on top of a desk, but better results can be had with stands, whether it's the smaller ISO Acoustics or Floor Stands.
Another (cheaper) alternative is using Sorbethane to isolate the bottom of your speakers (on TOP of floor stands if you wanna get real crazy). Works much better than MoPAD's in my opinion, but you may need to replace them after a while as they harden up. High density foam does an ok job separating the speakers from the floor or desk, but sorbethane allows speakers to move more freely, as they have more "give" to them. The improved clarity and extension of the lower register when using sorbethane over MoPAD was noticeable. https://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B0042U6ZDU/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=Isolate+It+%2F+Sorbothane&qid=1564430703&s=gateway&sr=8-7
If you have lost the original pads, I had to use these on a Magicforce 68 build I did for someone. To access the PCB on the MF68, the screws are under the pads. I had to pull the pads off to access the screws and the pads were so thin they were ruined in the process. Once I finished the build and screwed it all back together, I just got those and cut them to size and they worked perfect.
Most UTH's will come with little rubber feet that you can put on the bottom of your tank to raise it up from the surface. You should use them to let air flow get in around the UTH. If your thermostat doesn't come with them, you should be able to find them online. They're pretty cheap
Are you talking about something like this?
I hadn't even thought of an anti-vibration mat. Something like this?
How does it make your prints worse? This?
Of course, here are the ones I purchased. You have to be careful to get the right weight load for your speakers or equipment.
just order a custom cut piece of tempered glass and be done with it. order these or something similar - the glass will not slide. https://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Adhesive-Square-Bumpers-Bumper/dp/B01G5WX4M2/
glass on top of rubber like this is used in every piece of glass top furniture as long as it's tempered glass you'll be fine. If you reall are worried, cut an inset into the table for the glass to be a little smaller and then lay it inside.
You need some door silencers.
http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-4215395N-Round-Bumpers-pieces/dp/B001WAK6DS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1416786812&sr=8-5&keywords=door+silencer
Stack em till the door can still close and the rattle goes away.
So, would something like this be much more appropriate? They come in multiple diameters depending on the weight of the item you are attaching them to.
If you don't find any suction cups, you can always get some anti-slip pads. Something like this.
I have a Karlby 74" with an Alex on one side and height-adjustable legs on the other. I used about a 1/4 ft² worth of rubber foam pads (such as these).
They're thin enough that they don't add bulk, thick enough that small level issues don't cause rocking, but very, very good at preventing a desk with 50lb worth of PC and monitors from sliding. Plus, the desk lifts away and the adhesive is kind of easy to remove.
Something similar to these that I picked up at the hardware store.
http://www.amazon.com/Pack-Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Bumpons/dp/B016GWHSBE/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1457042440&sr=8-27&keywords=rubber+feet
https://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B0042U6ZDU/
be sure to choose the "duro" value (weight range supported per pad) to align with the actual weight of your turntable in conjunction with how many pads are being applied.
Something like this might help a bit with the noise
If you've left it in the sun or in a hot room for too long it might have flexed a little but rather check if it wobbles on another flat surface before jumping to conclusions, could just be the table.
In either case you could always get yourself some of these or these to try and even it out :)
Round felt furniture pads under furniture and under feet of TT. [LINK](Self-Stick 1-Inch Furniture Round Felt Pads for Hard Surfaces, Oatmeal, 48-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001WAK5X4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_m.8rzb5R8FZXS)
Just cut up some thick rubber tape and stick it over the buttons....
Here's a link
Just remember whatever you add will add height! The rubber feet he's talking about can be picked up from RONA or whatever local hardware store in the furniture section. They come in a pack of 20-50 and are adhesive, ususally thrown on table tops and whatnot.

Someone hook this brother up with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SL0KJC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.UU4CbKQRGWSX
One option is to try to reduce the noise at the source.
You could buy a set of these for each machine and see how much that reduces the noise
https://www.amazon.com/Ideaworks-JB6368-Anti-Vibration-Pads/dp/B008GUYZWK
Is it in high power mode? Also, what is your MK3 sitting on? I've noticed that hollow topped desks (like lack tables) seem to resonate and make the printer even louder. I put some sorbothane feet under my MK2, and that really made a difference. If you also put a heavy piece of stone under the MK3, that should help too. Doing both would probably help even more.
The other thing I did to reduce the sound of my printer was to replace all of the linear bearings with Igus style bearings. Those bearings are drop-in, so it was pretty easy to switch. They have made a huge difference. I used to be able to hear my printer from my bedroom, now all I can hear is the fan (time for a noctua).
Edit: spelling
Mine used to wobble. I added rubber feet on the existing feet, and it works just fine now.
Self-stick rubber bumpers on Amazon
Is this the same idea as using sorbothane balls? I suppose isolating the turntable might be more cost effective, I was also looking into the audio engine stands, but really not sure how effective those would be. Would vibrations from the speakers on the turntable actually be noticeable?
Thanks for the response :)
thats a good idea, but tbh those drawers are about 75 bucks each and gets too expensive for me, i think im gonna go for this table - its a crappy plastic table, but it is height adjustable and its 48"x23" which i think is the ideal size for me - i think if i put a table cloth or bedsheet over it, and maybe some desk leg pads like these if it's not stable enough.
think that's a good idea?
Realy nice setup but you need a headphone holder like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Stands-16090-Headphone-Holder-Surface/dp/B00IUD68KA/ref=sr_1_37?ie=UTF8&qid=1501937869&sr=8-37&keywords=headphone+holder
or this one if you really want to spend money:
https://www.amazon.com/Auray-Headphone-Holder-Padded-Adjustable/dp/B01K2OMSSA/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1501937856&sr=8-27&keywords=headphone+holder
If you are going that far, might as well add leveling feet: http://www.amazon.com/16-Inch-Soft-Touch-Threaded-Leveling/dp/B001W6Q4U6/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1450730984&sr=8-12&keywords=screw+legs
These + These = What you were asking for.
If you are nervous even with the little tiny feet that come with the UTH, get a pack of these and just glue them (you could even just place them if you wanted) to the bottom of the tank to get more airflow under. I've had these on my tanks for years.
Fox Shop
A rug probably couldn't hurt either. Another option if you want to throw some money at it are rubber or foam isolation pads. Amazon sells some: Vibrapod - Isolator Isolation Feet - $24 and Ideaworks JB6368 S/4 Anti Vibration Pads - $5, there are a few more options as well. They may or may not work but they might be worth a shot.
Yeah that's awesome. A little pricey for my current use I think. I found this which seems like a cheap alternative
Shop Fox W1322 Anti-Vibration Pad 24-Inch by 36-Inch, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OQTV2I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sM.yybES4F6CT
I guess you can get something like these in every hardware store, they should work fine.
You've got a cute cat, btw!
Try some blocks of high-density foam, you can find them in black and they're strong enough that you can make them look more or less like they were there all along.
If it's not vibrating, just wandering around aimlessly, you could put some of this down, even under just two of the legs.
Now you need to make a Wandering Subwoofer song.
You could put things like http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/clear-self-stick-rubber-pads-452045/ http://www.amazon.com/3M-754ES-12-Piece-Self-Stick-0-16-Inch/dp/B001QCXXWS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449459&sr=8-1 or http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-Style-Gripper-4-Inch-5-Inch/dp/B000SL0KJM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1290449484&sr=8-7 around the inside of the box. They should cushion the Plexiglas and unless you're putting a LOT of wear on them, stay in place for quite some time. Depending on the self-adhesive on the rubber padding, you might have better luck trying to find one that doesn't have self-adhesive on it, and using super glue or something similar to hold them on firmer.
Are you worries about carrying the stones separately? I have GoGameGuru's folding board, which is also Japanese (smaller) sized:
https://shop.gogameguru.com/intrepid-go-game-set/
Lines are straight, board sounds excellent. ProTip: Rubber "feet" on the bottom help the sound & protect the hinge from scratching the surface:
http://www.amazon.com/Shepherd-Hardware-9967-Surface-Adhesive/dp/B007ZUENG0/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1451527185&sr=1-2&keywords=rubber+feet
Even easier: a pair of little rubber non-slide feet - one each under the front corner, none under the backs - would probably get you there. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Rockler-45929-Piece-Rubber-Bumpers/dp/B006Z7B16Y/
Without having tried any of these .. rubber floor mat pieces, pieces of bicycle tire, bath mat, non slip mat for under carpet, attached to bottom of legs or maybe these https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Self-Stick-Non-Slip-Surface-Grip/dp/B000SL0KJC/
You can add 1" 50-Duro sorbothane hemispheres to accomplish the same effect for ~$25.
I'm using ones similar to these with a sticky back. Make sure the console is level, too as that helps tremendously with noise.
Try this
These might work even better: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Anti-Skid-Furniture-Protectors-assorted/dp/B00H876X5Y
I use these things. http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-4719095N-1-Inch-Self-Stick-Oatmeal/dp/B001WAK5X4 and they work great. BUT my stands are clamp stands and these won't help make anything stick.
The counter tops are just resting on the Alex units but with some rubber pads. The pads that came with the units were terrible though, didn't stick in place and the desk pulled them off. I got some of these from amazon which are meant to work with glass tops. The desk doesnt move anywhere now.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BPQMV6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Then there are some Olov adjustable legs in the corner.
I prop my ps4 up on 4 of these guys. They're excellent for airflow under the console.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GUYZWK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use one of these to hold the headphones, and one of those to thread the cord through so that it takes up the slack. Helps prevent me from running over it with my chair.
I've tried desk standing holders. The cables on desk and the way you have to put them on so it doesn't tip over..
On the wall seems even worse in my opinion because this is not the same as guitar or a picture.
You use it more often. At least I do (putting down, back up...)
I have a bit wider desk and found that this is the best solution out there: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00IUD68KA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you end up considering a holder for the table top, this one is excellent. Metal structure and rubberized coating.. Built like a tank, no wobble/creak. I use it to hold two full size cans and there's enough space (can also put a set of IEM there, but I don't use it that way).
Also, no problems using it to hold headphones with a middle suspension band (I have the MDR-CD3000 on it). Ended up preferring this solution when I figured out it doesn't waste any useful space on the desk.
I invested in some of these pads, 4 on each drawer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SL0KJC
For me, the included (tiny) pads with the Alex drawers weren't quite enough to keep the countertop in place from pressure and bumps over time.
Thanks for the reply! I've already done this, as per my post. The ones I bought from Amazon aren't stopping the vibrations, though. Do you have any recommendations from ones that will definitely stop the vibrations?
These are the ones that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GUYZWK/
I bought some felt pads for some chairs in my house. With some left over, I put four of them under my ps4. It seems makes the console quieter and gives more airflow around it to keep it cool.
The console really shouldn't overheat if there's enough room for it to breath. Don't put it inside of a closed off cabinet.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001WAK6DS?psc=1
I guess use something like this. Maybe mess around with the vertical height a bit beforehand to see what works nice. Oh and perhaps a dome shape is better as a flat shape won't work as well on an angle. I just realized that.
Yeah, international tracking stops after it gets to Chicago :/ Sometimes it picks pack up once it gets to customs though
Yeah! They're these guys (dimensions in description): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JAW454/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
All you would need is felt applied under whatever you don't want to scratch.
Felt rounds are widely available and cheap. Maybe you want felt tape/strip for longer applications like a dresser or something, you just cut it to length. Or you need a custom size or shape, you just get felt pads and cut it up.
I've had success with these: http://amzn.com/B0042U8P9C. I don't have a subwoofer, but my Play:5 was making stuff rattle, and these fixed that. YMMV.
I used to have this problem too. My discs would eject every day. I tried everything - the disc eject screw adjustment, grounding my PS4, placing it on tin foil, etc. The one thing that finally worked for me was placing little rubber feet under my PS4. They raise it an extra couple millimeters off the shelf and seem to do the trick. Here are some you can find on Amazon for a couple bucks. I got mine at Home Depot.
I haven't tried the anti-static tape, but this solution won't look as bad (it's invisible) and will still let you use your buttons.
Wow, sounds like you need to move them to someplace less confined/dusty, I know I had my PS4 inside my TV cabinet and it gave me no end of problems, fan chugged loud due to heat and the dust in there clogged the vents and the Playstation controller would slightly lag out sometimes because it was so close to the router and the signals interfered with each other.
I moved my PS4 out of the cabinet and also cleaned the dust real good, I placed furniture pads on the bottom which helped immensely with heat and now the fans mostly silent, the DVD drive whines loud during certain games but it's not unbearable.
Now that my router and PS4 are about 4 feet apart the controls are tight as hell, hope this helps someone.
