  Look into rockwool instead of foam - it does a great Job and is not flammable.

    That would just get insulation all over every print they do though. You need something more solid.

    or maybe DIY air-crete panels, not as great for the temps rockwool can tolerate but OP is plastic printing, not iron forging.

  You can use a concrete tile placed underneath the printer to reduce vibrations and noise

    Concrete is solid and would transmit the vibrations more than other less dense options.

      You need rubber feet under the slab to isolate it.

        Or put the slab on top of foam rubber www.youtube.com/watch?v=y08v6PY_7ak

        You could use a lot other material in that case. The concrete itself is a non-sequitur, your isolating the base with another base with rubber between both. Concrete, wood, plastic. Anything at that point between the two rubber pieces.

  What about a constant white noise to drown it out? Even a running fan can be enough for a lot of people.
