Ender-5 Pro Silencer for Extruder Motor

prusaprinters

<p>The extruder stepper motor on my Ender-5 Pro made strange and disturbing noises during retraction.</p><p>Since I couldn't find any silencer for the Ender-5 Pro, I made one by myself.</p><p>The Extruder Silencer by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4058625">petrzmax</a> served as a suggestion.</p><p>My silencer was printed with Sunlu TPU 95A filament; it has a nice flexibility.</p><p>Assembly: First I attached the motor to the silencer with two M4x12 allen screws and two nuts. Then I fixed the silencer to the frame with the original M4x8 screws and its T-nuts.</p><p>Now the strange noise is gone :-)</p><h4>Print Settings</h4><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Ender 5</p><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 mm</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong></p><p>Sunlu TPU 95A</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Notes: My second 3D printer is an Artillery Genius and has a direct extruder.<br>Therefore I took my Genius to print this silencer with TPU 95A filament.</p><p>I used Cura 4.12 with following settings:</p><p>Wall Line Count: 2</p><p>Fill Gaps Between Walls: Nowhere</p><p>Infill Density: 0</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: 3D Printer Parts</p>
