3D printer foot

thingiverse

I needed to set my MakerFarm Pegasus printer on a wooden desktop without damaging it with raw aluminum 80/20 rail. I wanted soft feet that would protect the desk while keeping the printer from sliding off as the mechanisms move back and forth. I had six 12mm stick-on silicone feet in my toolbox, so I decided to print six feet and use the silicone on the bottoms. Print Settings Printer: MakerFarm Pegasus Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: I printed them in black ABS to match the black anodized 80/20 rail. You can print them in whatever material you have. Post-Printing Attach to printer The MakerFarm kit came with M5-.8x8 socket cap head screws, so there is a recess designed for those screw heads. Slide T-slot nuts into the bottom rail, locate the feet at corners or other places that need support, and screw these in. I placed the last two beneath side vertical supports, near the Z-axis motors. Mounting them required blind T-slot nuts. After tightening the screws, stick silicone feet to the bottoms.
