Gonna try doing a 2cmx2cm piece of foam under the center of my heat bed today,
As i believe this will lower vibirations at lower speeds, Wich are terrible.. Its fine once you are printing at 40-60mm/s but its terrible at 20-35mm/s.
As that was one of my things why i wanted to upgrade my kit i felt i could place it here in this topic.

I have just received my shipping notice on my new i3v printer. UPS has it in their possession and it should be here on Friday 4/4/14 (I just love 4's). So this weekend it is "BUILD TIME".
Just thought you guys would like to know.

just got my shipping notice - can't wait to get this up and running. Anyone know what size the glass for the bed should be? Was hoping to pick something up this weekend.
thanks

I sent a message to Collin asking that question and then I said "look in to docs, stupid" to myself. And WALA in the Build Document on the second page and in the 3rd sentence it lists the size of glass needed. I then messaged back to Collin and said "don't bother answering my stupid question as I had found the answer right in the doc if I bothered to read it".

For my 8" i3 I have glass that is 8-3/8 x 8-3/8. I scored and snipped off the corners just a tiny bit to miss the bolts on the bed. I then used an orbital sander with 120 sandpaper to sand all the edges nice and smooth so when you handle and wash you don't get cuts. I have 3 sheets and just keep cycling them. I went to the local hardware store and just got inexpensive window glass. I looked into the fancier Pyrex/equivalent that people said was best due to thermal expansion but each piece was going to cost $90. I've had no trouble at all with window glass at $3.25 each.
Can't wait to see photos... I want to do the upgrade when it's available.Bambu P1S/AMS
