CR-10 TPU Feet

thingiverse

I was using Dr Boo's squash ball feet, which worked amazingly well, but my CR-10 controller failed and the MKS Gen V1.4 replacement wouldn't fit inside the controller box, so I decided to ditch the box and put everything on or under the printer instead. The box I printed for the new controller with a cooling fan for the stepper drivers fitted neatly on top of the case, leaving very little free space between the fan and the bed adjustment knobs, so I remixed the squash ball feet to give me more space and printed flexible feet with TPU filament to give the noise and vibration isolation similar to the squash balls. The PLA legs are printed in PLA with 4 perimeter walls, top & bottom layers, and 35% infill. The TPU feet have 3 walls, top & bottom layers to give enough strength not to collapse under the weight of the printer, with 20% infill so they can flex enough to provide the necessary isolation. The TPU feet fit very tightly, and I needed to put one edge in first then pry the rest in with a large, blunt flat blade screwdriver. Once the foot was in all the way round, I pressed on the mounting plate to push the foot all the way in. The foot sits 10mm inside the leg to ensure it won't come out easily. I've been asked to link to the mods on my printer, so here they are: MKS Gen V1.4 Case - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1795015; Cooling Duct - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439; PSU Mount & LCD Case came from - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2828063
