<p>Saw this design on a YouTube channel (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkXj9_80x1PquHxWZtT-6Hg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkXj9_80x1PquHxWZtT-6Hg</a> check the videos abtout the Chiron - cannot remember the exact one...) a couple of months ago and decided to design the feet myself to get some more practice in Fusion360.</p> <p>Consists of 4 main parts:</p> <ul> <li>upper disc</li> <li>spring - or - "puffer"</li> <li>lower disc</li> <li>damper pad underneath (see cross section for details)</li> </ul> <p>Print the "puffer" in TPU (used some quite old FlexiSmart stuff found on <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a>) just in case you do not have a suitable spring on hand. Stiffness of the buffer can be managed by infill percentage - have done mine with 50% and works quite well.</p> <p>The setup will not entirely stop the Chrion from wobbling around, but shows some good improvements when printing with 60mm/s</p> <p>Just forgot: you will need 4 of them ;)</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Monoprice</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Mini Delta</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0,2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Nothing special...

I used 240°C nozzle and 60°C on the bed and it worked quite good. Will take approx. 45min for each disc</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p><strong>Remove the support</strong></p> <div><p>the discs will have some support material on the inside since bridging does not work properly at this size - remove with pliers or cutter </p></div> <p class="detail-title"><strong>Glue the damper pad</strong></p> <div><p>Have printed the damper pad in TPU and glued it to the lower disc using some UHU Hart PVC glue - sticks very well and does a good job on a flat surface to avoid the printer moving around (pads were printed on a Flashforge Dreamer for easier TPU handling)</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
