Nice setup and thanks for the details. Always interesting to read those.
Just a small practical question: How do you change filament on those UM3's in the middle of the rack? With the controls on the front and the feeder on the back this must require teamwork or acrobatics :)

@fbrc8-erin: Thanks! I'm 100% sure y'all built these for us. We got them all from Dynamism. We had some extra foam tiles like these that I put under B1-B3 (and I think C1-C3) in the photos. They're around 1/2" thick and pretty cheap. I have a feeling I'll get more of those and run the z-banding test again on the S5. Perhaps if all the printers had it the entire thing would vibrate less. In the future, we're going to build some fixtures in-house to hold these better. These current ones came from Sam's Club! But imagine 2-3x as many printers in like two rows of fixtures... I love dreaming big. ?
That is incredible! Great to hear. I'll holler if I think of anything else like that for sure.

I think those tiles should do the trick. If you've got them underneath all of them it should help with the overall vibration of the structure.
We built a custom rolling cart for the one in our front office. It was a fun weekend project.
