Can i put 2 Printers side by side on same table?

Would the 2 printers vibrate eachother "errors". Sometimes when i bump into the print table, i get a shifted layer.

Would the 2 printers be doing that to themselves on the same table?

 

If i put the printers a few feet away on same table would it cause any detail loss on prints?

 

Any ideas or opinions would be great

 

Thank you

I wouldn't have the printers touching one another, but as long as the table is sturdy enough (doesn't sound like it is if you are getting layer shifts from casual bumps) multiple printers should be fine.

I think the short answer is "yes, it's possible but you can certainly isolate them from each other". A lot will depend on whether your table is a flimsy coffee table, or a stout piece assembled from 4x4 ties.

I have my MK3S and a BIBO2 printing simultaneously at times, and the slight "jiggle" they both produce doesn't affect the outcome.  They're on a folding banquet table.  Not the best, but seems to work well enough in my situation.
