Ender 3 - X-Axis Stepper Damper Adapter

thingiverse

I've been searching for a straightforward way to add a damper to my x-axis stepper motor, but nothing really caught my eye. This adapter is as simple as it gets. Benefits compared to other options: * Easy to install * No firmware updates required * No structural compromises (it attaches directly to the original metal assembly) The only drawback is that you'll need 3 M3x8mm screws. On the plus side, your printer will be significantly quieter! Also, check out these other mods that dramatically reduce the sound of your Ender 3: * [Y-Axis Stepper Damper](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3488452) * [Z-Axis Stepper Damper](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3516416) * [Low Profile Feet](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3456441) Enjoy the silence... **Updates:** 2019.04.28 - I updated the stepper adapter to accommodate a heat sink on the side of the motor. This was a necessity for me, but I wanted to make it easier for others who might need one. 2019.04.07 - I added pegs to hold the original x-axis pulley cover in place. These also seem sturdy enough to replace my previous endstop adapter.
