oh I do like to be beside the seaside
Just setup my first ever printer (Elegoo Centuri Carbon)

I’m not sure if it’s shaking too much, or is it normal?


It’s sitting on a floor tile, on an anti-vibration pad and then the table.
 
This is the Benchy I printed.

Try on hard surface directly on floor or concrete slab then printer . You can put rubber between them but basically something like a cut up inner tube patch just to reduce noise. You don't want soft rubber pad that causes micro rocking. Similar principle to loudspeaker on speaker stand really.

Print looks fine though
 
Mine was much worse than that when I first set it up then I got a decent table to set it up on which I covered in children's foam playpark pads and put it on that and it's much better now. That's fine and shouldn't cause any problems.
 
Looks fine to me as does the benchy. I use a Flashforge 5M Pro placed on top of a fairly sturdy unit and when it's really going mine shakes much more than this, that glass would probably be on the floor if it was placed on top :), still prints flawlessly even with that large ammount of movement.
 
looks fine. if you want less then put it on a concrete block on top of some foam. that's supposed to help
 
That looks normal, as said sticking it on a cheap paving slab ontop of a foam matt helps with reducing it but it will still shake and move when printing at high speeds.
Try reducing the acceleration from 10000mm/s to 7500 or 5000 and it will jerk around the print head less and reduce it a bit more.
