I bought cork dampers and used small rubber and flat washers. Honestly I didn't notice much of a difference. There is less vibration though.
For what it's worth, on another I built overseas, we had some folks make rubber gaskets out of tires. Those seemed to be a little bit more quiet.

Re: Build surface...which one?
I've tried PEI and BuildTak. See the PEI thread for my comments. I won't use it. True enough, it is wonderful for PLA but it can stick too much for ABS. Same with PEI I think. As John Oly recommends, I am going to try simple Window Tint. It's cheap. I like the idea of having a surface that's removab...

Re: Unsolved Mystery. Weird Z0 behavior around build perimet
I think it is something more basic. If I missed it, have you considered reflashing your EEProm with some base settings? There is a small script in the IDE that will allow you to reset the firmware back to it's base 2560 settings. Use it. Then reload a fresh config. It doesn't make sense that you're ...

Re: E3D Release New Version 6 of HotEnd.
So I'm wondering, but is there any advantages to the V6 over the V5 for printing ABS? It seems everyone has been talking about the changes improving the ability to print PLA, however I never print PLA and never intend to so PLA printing ability isn't of any real concern to me, and with the V6's out...

Re: I is a hopeless case
I would sell it if you can't devote the time. Orions print right out of the box - you might have to update the software sometime in the future; however, it would reduce your time investment.
You can probably get $800 for your open box version.

Re: PEEK Tube.
If you have a standard heater block like the E3D and make it screw into a ceramic head piece that's a 1" cylinder with a 1.75mm hole down the center, wouldn't that solve the world's ills? Seems to me, all you would have to worry about is how brittle the ceramic is.
