Here’s a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It’s a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides.
Is that stupidly dangerous?
You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won’t stop a fire on its own.
Edit: the cabinet has no door, it’s always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.
I worded this to get your attention (and that worked). Personally I think it’s fine but it does make an interesting question that I want to hear the crowd opinion on.
Also, what do other people do to reduce noise when you don’t have a spare room far away from your bed…? Better rubber feet isn’t doing much in this case.
Look into rockwool instead of foam - it does a great Job and is not flammable.
