dampener plate for Prusa i3 MK2 (squash ball)

prusaprinters

<p>You all know that the geometry of Original Prusa i3 MK2 is quite tricky. When you have a flat and square frame, you would like to keep it flat ... a long time !<br/> However if you move the printer you may wrap a little the XY frame and loose the XYZ calibration.<br/> I have thus designed this reinforcement plate with two goals in mind :</p> <ul> <li>add some stiffness to the XY frame and keep it horizontal ... forever</li> <li><p>dampen the vibrations with my squash ball feets Here is the result : it works really well, you just have to :</p> </li> <li><p>cut a wood base following the template (or better with a CNC -what I did-)</p> </li> <li>Then fix the supports with four screws</li> <li>fix the dampeners on the bottom side : <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2450161">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2450161</a></li> <li><p>put the printer on the supports and tighten it with four zip ties And that's it, your frame will remain absolutly flat, and you have a dampened printer !</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>150 µm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>60%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>9 perimeters to have very strong result (but not mandatory !)</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
