Frankenfoot (4040 tall foot with damper mount)

thingiverse

FrankenFoot ========== (aka 4040 extrusion mounted tall leg with damper mount) I'm always running out of space on my desk, so I decided to take my Ender 3 Pro vertical to create more room under the machine for larger bays and storage. The goal of this project was to design a strong and stable leg for my Ender 3 Pro or any other 4040 based printer that would connect via the 4040 extrusion, provide additional space for drawers and organization under the machine through added height, integrate vibration reduction, and not be too ugly. I'm new to 3D printing and modeling, so I took three different designs I liked portions of and remixed them together in Tinkercad. Hence, I present you with the FrankenFoot. 4040 integration base: Creator: https://www.thingiverse.com/Stewpercharged Design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3374914 Leg design: Creator: https://www.thingiverse.com/kelvinA Design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3625464 Damper foot: Creator: https://www.thingiverse.com/Tomorak Design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3874715 Damper feet: https://www.hudsonhifi.com/collections/sound-isolation/products/1-platinum-silicone-hemisphere-bumper-non-skid-isolation-feet-with-adhesive-20-duro-4-pack This model adds around 45mm of space under the 4040 mount without the damper and 55mm with the dampers. This is the final height with the printer compressing the dampers on my machine, but it may be different based on your printer settings, weight or dampers used. It can be used with or without the vibration hemispheres that are listed above. There's enough room on the bottom that you could put your own bumpers instead to have a similar anti-vibration effect. This design utilizes 4 x M4*12 bolts and 4 x M4 T-Nuts. My plan is to remix some of the drawer and rear enclosure designs at some point in the future that take advantage of the additional height. I'll link those in as they are created. I have these installed on my own machine and will update the design as it's tested. This is a very new design, so use it at your own risk. **Since these are structural, use settings for your printer that you know and are sound. These need to be able to support the weight of your printer and the vibration caused during printing.
