The anti-vibration feet reduced noise and shaking significantly. Some people complain that they're not held in by anything other than friction, but my experience is that if you shove them in hard enough, there's no problem. The AMS desiccant boxes and trays are great (and the hygrometer fits into the center one perfectly); with them in place, my AMS gets to about 10% humidity despite living in humid Atlanta (my condo at large tends towards 50%+). Every time you open the AMS, it will exchange air with the outside, and humidity will go back up, so keep it closed (and locked--there are two swiveling locks in the corners, easy to miss). Remember, your filaments will be absorbing that water along with your desiccants, and the desiccants aren't going to pull water out of the filaments; for that, you need active drying (I use a $40 food dehydrator, none of those fancy filament dryers, and the Carbon can dry filaments itself thanks to its heated enclosure).

A PEI plate kept clean will eliminate the glue necessitated by the stock cold plate. Spend the extra $10 for a plate that can be detected by the Carbon; my FYSTEC was $13.

The top glass riser is great for printing PLA, where you want some airflow but might not want to leave the front door hanging open.
