Am I building a fire hazard? - eviltoast

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.

    I saw someone else also suggest it, you could do an automatic fire extinguisher.

    This one dispenses after 3-5 seconds of direct flame contact, others will be different.
