Here's a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It's a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides.

Is that stupidly dangerous?

You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won't stop a fire on its own.

Edit: the cabinet has no door, it's always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.

you can reinforce your cabinet with some metal brackets or stop vibrations with rubber or similar

Printer on a concrete or stone slab decoupled with thick rubber. Make sure the cabinet can handle the weight as you are adding roughly 30-40kg on a 25x25cm area.
