CR-10 Controlbox Feet Support

thingiverse

Inspired by hugoarchicad's CR-10 SQUASH FOOT (https://www.thingiverse.com/make:516539) for the CR-10, I created this version of feet support for the control box of the CR-10 printer. After installing the vibration killer on the CR-10 printer, it seemed like a good idea to also eliminate the vibrations caused by the control box. In reality, it doesn't eliminate the fan noise, but since the table where the printer and its control box sit is no longer vibrating at all, I'm happy with this solution. As mentioned in similar objects, I personally use squash balls with double yellow dots. Although I haven't tested other options, these work perfectly for my needs. A possible side effect is that the loud stock fans of the control box now have more space to loudly proclaim their presence. But I guess that's a topic for future consideration. I also included my OpenScad file in case you want to modify some settings, such as changing the width of the control box or adding different text to the feet support. My control box has a width of 125mm and the STL file can be downloaded from here. It fits exactly between the original feet and the screws on the right side of the control box, just like in the picture. Please keep in mind that changing some parameters may not affect the entire outcome. You might need to adjust one or more additional parameters to achieve your desired customized object. Feel free to experiment with various changes if you'd like. Some changable settings include: controlBoxWidth: change width of the final object ballDiameter: diameter of the squash balls (or any other type of balls you might want to use) wallThickness: thickness of the walls, in case the default isn't adequate set personal text on final object useMaterialSaver: make use of an open part to save printing material and possibly reduce printing time useBaseFlatter: make use of a flat bottom for better printing without need of support or raft showLogoTextFront: show/hide individual text on front side showLogoTextBack: show/hide individual text on back side Feel free to modify the OpenScad sketch as you see fit. If you do end up using this feet support, it would be great if you could add your makes and comments in here at thingivers.com.
