    I am experimenting with tilt settings. I am trying to achieve a loose setting, but still detecting amd tilting too strong nudging/shaking.

    First of all, I use rubber feet for the legs, my machines standing on an hard floor. Just becuase of this, it is very hard to shake too hard the machines (unless you are a huge body builder). Basically the rubber feet themself keep the machines from moving too much.

    But with this setup, I would like to allow quite a bit of nudging to the machines. Not just little shots, but also some quite decently energetic nudging. I tried with the plumb bob entirely removed, but I am not happy as like that it is too forgiving. So I tried a very loose setting with the plumb bob at its smallest circumference, but then it's too punishing. I tried with both the bob upside down and straight, and did not find much difference.

    How to achieve an half way between no plumb bob and with "loose" plumb bob settings?

    There is a thread or link here somewhere where someone put a foam earplug in the loop of the plumb bob mechanism and if did what you are trying. I am on phone so I can't link. I will try finding the post/link.
