3D Printer Vibration Dampening Feet

thingiverse

I was conducting an experiment with my printer on a piece of carpet to eliminate vibration. I've been searching for a more permanent solution and discovered that some individuals have successfully utilized tennis balls with attachment mounts. I sought something smaller and found these foam rubber practice golf balls. They are constructed from medium density foam rubber with a tough exterior surface. At 41 mm in diameter, they are compact and low-profile. I designed a mount that accepts a 1/4-20 or 7 mm hex head screw. The screw is inserted from the bottom and rests in a hexagonal pocket. The mount screws into the threaded end of my 2020 extrusion on my HyperCube printer. The balls are secured by four small barbs on the inside rim of the mount, pressed firmly in place but can be easily removed if replacement is necessary. These foam rubber practice golf balls are affordable and widely available. Here's what I used: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B00466W9X0 I printed with supports to ensure a successful outcome. Printer Settings: * Printer: HyperCube * Rafts: No * Supports: Yes * Resolution: 0.1mm or 0.2mm * Infill: 50% * Notes: You must use supports when printing. I successfully printed in PLA, but ABS or PETG would also be suitable options. Extruder Temperature: 210C Bed Temperature: 40C
