I got a pack from Home Depot. They were too big, so I had to cut it down, but that's better than being too small.

For those of you using cork, any specific thickness or type? Also, do you find that it works well?

I'm thinking I would like to try a sheet that is 1/4" think under the bed. Does anybody have suggestions or warnings or sources of material?

I used 1/4" cork that was sold at Lowes as a package of four tiles to use to make a bulletin board. since I'm using the spacer at one corner of the bed that was 1/4", the cork fills the space nicely. you will have to trim out holes for the bed bolts and I also made a V channel in the top of the cork under the pcb, so the cork doesn't put pressure on the thermistor and wires/bow the PCB up in the middle.

I bought a thin sheet roll of cork from amazon when I was building my printer. I would advise against it, it's too thick when doubled and too thin when only using a single sheet. It also is a pain to work with since it's so curled up. I think multiple flat tiles or one large flat sheet would be a much better approach.

I am debating on trying to double up my cork as the springs are really wound down tight.
