3030 Frame, tennis ball feet vibration dampener
thingiverse
This is a custom vibration frame damper for a Prusa MK2 3030 extrusion frame designed to reduce the loud sounds your 3D printer generates. Many tables become makeshift speakers as the printer vibrates, creating resonance that can be distracting and annoying. By damping these vibrations from the printer, you can significantly reduce the audible sounds you hear. My best guess is that my modified Prusa MK2 printer sounds have decreased roughly 80-90% from stock levels. Most of the remaining sound is due to the MK42 heatbed vibrating on Y movement, a problem I've found difficult to fix without adding unnecessary weight to the moving platform. A tennis ball securely snaps into the opening of this frame damper. You will need to print four copies, as each damper requires five t-nuts to mount to your 3030 frame. With my design, I have almost completely eliminated all printer vibrations from my printer. An added bonus is that the feet are extremely rigid and help keep the frame joints solid. This kit also includes base stands, which will prevent the tennis ball from sliding around your table if you want to secure your printer even more. You can use double-sided tape or anti-slip pads under them as needed for extra stability.

This design works with PLA, but I recommend using PETG as it allows for more flex without fear of eventual cracking.
