Ender-3 dampened Y motor holder
thingiverse
**TLDR:** Upgrade your Creality Ender-3 with a custom Y motor holder that clears space for a stepper motor dampener installation. You'll need: * Your original screws (may also apply to the dampeners) * A stepper dampener, like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-NEMA-17-Motor-Vibration-Damper-Shock-Absorber-for-3D-Printer-Stepper-Motor/162950162106?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Many videos show a straightforward installation of stepper dampeners on the Ender-3's X and Y axes, but the Z/E axis isn't as noisy. However, I encountered an issue when installing a damper on the Y axis - it couldn't reach its end-stop, causing the print bed undercarriage to crash into the back of the Y stepper motor. To solve this problem, I designed this custom holder for the Y axis. For the X axis, the timing belt gear needs to be shifted slightly outwards on the motor axle. Ideally, the gear would sit closer to the motor, but the part it sits on may be too stressful for plastic. With both X and Y axes dampened, my printer is remarkably quiet - a huge improvement over its previous state. The Z and E axis still make some noise, but their movements are negligible compared to the X and Y axes. **Note:** Use at your own risk. You can adjust this holder to compromise your belt tension. Over- or under-tightening may cause issues with your print, potentially leading to a collision between the print bed undercarriage and the part. If this holder is printed weakly, it may break during a print, causing further problems.
