Anti Vibration Rubber Feet for Anet A8 (Using 3M Bumpon 22.3mm Feet)

thingiverse

I've always been skeptical about Anti-Vibration Bumpers, thinking they either don't work or make the printer wobble uncontrollably. I decided to try my hand at designing my own, using 3M Bumpon 22.3mm x 10.1mm Feet I had on hand. They do a fantastic job, making my printer much quieter and preventing it from sliding around. From across the room, you can barely hear anything except for the fans. I picked up the Feet in a pack for €1 at my local discount store, but they're also available on Amazon and eBay. I highly recommend printing six copies: two for the rear frame, one under each Z-motor, and two for the front frame. This setup keeps the body from bending and ensures it stays rock-solid. Printer Settings: * Printer: Anet A8 * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: 0.1 * Infill: 20% * Notes: Don't use supports, as they'll mess up the inner section and prevent the Bumpers from fitting properly without modification. Use your preferred settings for printing large overhangs. I found that printing my PLA at 190°C/60°C with a 60mm speed worked best, resulting in minimal warping. The Feet will snap into place and stay put, even without adhesive. This means you can reuse them from old projects, like speakers.
