AM8 / 2040 / 2020 Damper foot

thingiverse

This is a vibration dampening foot drawing inspiration from other damper feet out there. These significantly reduce the noise made by the printer by isolating its vibrations from the surface it sits on. I've noticed a noticeable difference in noise levels and as a result, have also seen an increase in acceleration. I've been informed that vibration damping this way may lead to increased ringing, so I will conduct some tests on this matter. Since these are fitted using M5 fixings, they should be compatible with any 2020 or 2040 printer. For the AM8, I used M5 x 24mm bolts for the front and back feet, as well as 20mm bolts for the middle feet. Printed with PETG, with exactly four perimeters (two on each side), the layer preview should resemble the one displayed above.
