Printing next to a railway line

Hi guys,

So i just ordered my first Prusa and i‘m really looking forward to getting it. Unfortunately, today i realized, that i live next to a railway line (ok i knew that before but did not spend much thought on it) where at least at night the whole house trembles slightly. Is this going to be a huge problem? Any thoughts on how to mitigate the impact on the prints (if there is any)

Best Answer by Chocki:

If you have any vibration issues from the railway line, you can always put your printer on a granite chopping board and place this on sorbothane feet, vibration damping works both ways.

Railway lines do not feature highly on the list of problems...

probably best to wait and see...

Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Or some Soft Rubber thinks who you can put under hot Pots and Kitchen ware.
I use them under my Pc to reduce the vibration on a Desk.
