Camera Gimbal Vibration Dampening Ball

thingiverse

This is a vibration dampening ball used in drone gimbals. I needed some right away and had flexible filament on hand, so I searched online for a printable file but couldn't find one quickly enough. I decided to create my own instead. I'm sharing it here now in case someone else needs a solution like this. This part needs to be printed with flexible filament. It prints best at 20mm/s and takes about 49 minutes to print one on my Ender Pro3. There are three files available: Larger Version (20MM tall) 1. Vertical: This version prints cleaner and faster, but the layers are in the same plane as the stresses. 2. Horizontal: This option prints slower and isn't as clean looking, but the layers are perpendicular to the stresses and should be stronger. Smaller Version (15mm tall) This part could potentially be scaled for different needs.
