22xx TPU Motor Vibration Dampener

thingiverse

This is a quick and effective way to dampen motor vibrations resonating through your carbon frame and confusing your Flight Controller. These are for standard race quad motors, like the 22xx series. If you have a little 1306 or 1407 motor, see here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2161130. These dampeners are just 1.5mm thick and weigh only 0.29g each. Print them solid with soft TPU and squish them between your motors and frame. TRICKS FOR PRINTING TPU: I've managed to print NinjaFlex even with pretty bad extruders. Direct Drive is probably the easiest method, but I've seen some 3mm Bowden types work too. To get the best results, try printing SUPER SLOW, using temperatures of 220-230º, and an extrusion multiplier of 125% or more. TPU likes to compress and under-extrude easily. If you can't print them yourself, I'm also selling these dampeners in packs of 8 on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/253165525844 Print Settings: Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm or whatever Infill: 100%
