Anet A8 PLUS Squash Ball Dampening Feet

thingiverse

I discovered numerous squash ball feet on Thingiverse suitable for the A8 Plus, although none were specifically designed for it. These can be bolted directly into place of the stock feet without altering the original chassis height. I measured a 6db drop in noise and a noticeable reduction in ghosting after installing these. To install, simply remove your stock feet, gently maneuver the squash balls into the cups (it's a very tight fit), and then secure them with the stock bolts. This will yield a substantial decrease in noise. These use a double yellow 40mm squash ball, which I had never heard of before, but it makes an excellent dampener. I printed these using eSun PLA Pro with a layer height of .2, 50% infill, and 4 outlines.
