    so i finally decided to mount the xxl lcd control. printed the risers . I thought they had the space to insert the stock rubber feet. they dont. I found the correct ones.
    so i am behind due to the case warping and now the wrong feet.

    so i thought I would ask what other options are there for a suitable anti vibration pad

    Most of the time anti-vibration mats do just the opposite of what you want them to do. They will introduce harmonics at other frequencies that would normally get squashed with a solid mounting surface. This YouTube guy had an interesting test on a Prusa i3 which for all intents and purposes is the same basic design as the R1 series.


    This video he goes into more depth on trying to analyze the source of the vibrations
