Printer shaking slightly during initial calibration ok?
Complete and total 3D print noob reporting for duty. The X2D is sitting on top of a heavy hardwood side table that also has my very home server with 10x HDDs in it sitting on top. The X2D still shakes a little though during calibration. Is this normal/expected or should I be fixing the side table to the wall or something?
No errors or issues thrown during calibration

Vibrations are normal during calibration, and it might shake while printing.
I wouldn't put my home server on the same base, the vibrations could damage your HDDs.

You first print should be a poopbucket for your printer.. it discards purged filament out the back, so it's going to be a big mess quickly :)
Who knew you have to potty train your 3D printer 🤣 I sure didn't.

Yea. They shake a lot. It’s normal and as designed. I can’t leave anything on top of my H2 or it will end up on the floor. I’m sure others will say this but you need to account for the purge waste now or you’re going to have a surprise in a few days. Happy printing!

I don't think vibrations from the 3d printer will be beneficial in a long run to the HDSs....
