CR10s PRO foot for NO cover and SILENT operation

thingiverse

I live in an apartment and for long prints, it's important to have a really silent printer - just the traditional silent fans mod (I changed all of them) was not enough to me, I felt vibration and noise still above my needs - I wanted to reach a level where I could have it printing on my office, while I could e.g. make a conference call at the same time. After many experiments I concluded that large fans for the power supply and motherboard cooling were the perfect combination for good cooling with almost total silence - however the stock "cover" limits the fans you can install (there is no space) and the air flow. I decided to design a new foot (I took inspirations from multiple designs and ideas in Thingiverse) that allow to raise the printer enough to install large fans, completely remove the stock cover and reuse the stock cover screws. This also allowed to remove the stock fan to ventilate the box (not required anymore). You will find 3 different foot (right, left, center) that will fit the stock holes and allow to use the stock screws. The foot are a combination of PETG (the black part, 100% infill, PLA should work as well) and Flexible PLA (blue, 40% infill). I've achived this with 2 profiles for different heights (you can define to use one profile with 100% infill for the first 5mm and then another profile with 40% infill for the remaining print). I manually paused the print and changed the filament when reaching the 5mm. The combination of the multiple mods for silence that you can see on the last photo achieved my intended results. The foot to remove the cover (left, right, middle foot) are my contribution. All the other mods can be found on Thingiverse. Please do these mods on your own resposibility, although they work for me I don't guarantee that they cannot fail and cause damage to your printer or other problems. Enjoy!
