Artist-D PRO wobble feet

thingiverse

In the quest for lowering the noise: I have seen some success in reduction of noise transmitted from the printer to the table by introduction of wobble feet formed by two connected ellipsoids. Since I already needed to elevate my printer because of fan replacement, and because other solutions did not fit this printer, I decided to make bespoke feet for my Artist-D. The solution consists of two sets of springs for front/back feet (A/B) and two spacers (FB/FT). There are two sets as the weight distribution between front and back was vastly different (over 15mm slope with identical ones). There is weight difference on X axis as well, but not nearly as significant. You can use original rubber feet (12mm) instead of FB spacer (20mm). You'll need 4x M3x25+ screws, 4x M4x10+ screws with nuts, optionally spring washers. Final elevation of the printer is about 65mm +/-2mm depending on filament used. Note holes on the springs have two sizes, the smaller is supposed to be the top with the larger one just enough for a screwdriver for M3 Phillips or Allen wrench. I put electrician tape between parts for "mushy" contact. I also installed the springs rotated 45 degrees, so that the Y axis vibrations (which are bound to have more energy/momentum) are spread across two springs instead of just one.
