Ender 3 - Low Profile Feet

prusaprinters

<p>I could not find any low profile squash ball foot designs for my printer, so I created this one. It works with any 40mm extruded aluminum frame, and adds only<strong>10mm</strong> to the printer height. It's amazing how much quieter this makes things!</p><p><strong>Updates:</strong></p><p><strong>2019-03-03</strong> - Angled the edge of the base to match the top angle and reduce filament use.</p><p>Also, check out these other mods that dramatically reduce the sound of your Ender 3</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/187665-ender-3-x-axis-stepper-damper-adapter">X-Axis Stepper Damper</a></li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/187667-ender-3-y-axis-stepper-damper-v2">Y-Axis Stepper Damper</a></li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/187664-ender-3-z-axis-stepper-damper-adapter">Z-Axis Stepper Damper</a></li></ul><p>Enjoy the silence...</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>40%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>It would be a good idea to use a wall thickness of 1.2-1.6 to ensure 3-4 walls are used and the print is strong enough...
