That video looks great. 1000mm/sec using a NEMA 14 is pretty amazing.
The surface you have it sitting on did not look that stable, so I was worried that it might shake at 1000 mm/sec, but it looked solid.
I have printed about 40 things so far. On one high speed test, during the fill of a narrow section the ORD Bot started to move a little on my smooth oak dining room table, like a bristle bot. The print was not affected and the machine only moved about an inch. Another thing I noticed is that the ORD Bot is generally much quieter than most printers, but when on that same oak table it is a bit louder. I now generally run it sitting on a small hand cloth. It quiets down the table resonance.
When I ran it at PS1 or on my kitchen counter it was quieter than an ink jet or laser printer.
