IF YOU HAVE COME ACROSS THESE AND WANT THE LATEST VERSION PLEASE CLICK THIS TEXT</a></h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><p>After looking around a common solution for dampening feet for the Mini is to use squash balls. I don't doubt this wouldn't be effective but I believe that this is a little over the top and complicated as there are different sizes of squash balls further complicating the process. And being a student with little excess cash, saving money where possible is always a benefit :) . So I decided to design a simple, single 3D printed piece, solution.This design is heavily inspired by similar feet for the ender 3 designed by redmaxver which can be found on thingiverse through this link &gt;&gt; <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2913473">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2913473</a></p><p>Please consider leaving a like as it means a lot to me, 2 seconds of your time for many minutes of mine seems like a good deal.</p><p><strong>Update Log:</strong></p><p>Date 14/04/21</p><ul><li>Some people have noticed an issue with the z axis foot being too high, if you are running into a similar issue I highly recommend you check out the remix by pencilneck here &gt;&gt; <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63641-prusa-mini-anti-vibration-feet-shims-z-axis-remix">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63641-prusa-mini-anti-vibration-feet-shims-z-axis-remix</a></li><li><i>Side Note: I am testing with printing these in PETG and fixed the source files, they now include both the deep and z axis feet</i></li></ul><p>Date 10/04/21</p><ul><li>Uploaded the Z Axis Edition, this replace the foam foot that supports the Z axis, also updated description accordingly and print files etc.</li></ul><p>Date: 18/02/21</p><ul><li>Updates made in regard to changes made to PrusaPrinters and the ability to add folders etc…</li></ul><p>Date: 07/02/21</p><ul><li>I made some updates to the description and updated the print files, added a new version of the PLA and a PETG file ( this can be found in the user print files section ) - <i>18/02/21 - These files have been relocated to the "Print Files" section.</i></li></ul><p>Date: 04/01/21</p><ul><li>I have uploaded new feet ( 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 7mm ) with different depths. I haven't experimented with them to find an ideal combination but what works for one printer may not work for another as it depends on how much the foam feet have deformed.</li></ul><p>Date: 24/12/20</p><ul><li>You may need to add little pieces of paper into some of the feet to act as a sort of spacer. I found that when placed my printer on an Ikea Lack table it rocks slightly. After a minute this was eliminated with some simple little pieces of paper place inside/underneath some of the feet.</li></ul><h3><strong>Print instructions</strong></h3><p><strong>Printer:</strong> Prusa MINI</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Yes</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong> 100%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PLA or PETG</p><p><strong>Additional Comments:</strong></p><p>Printing these in either PLA or PETG will work fine but with PETG being less ridged than PLA it may result in better vibration reduction.</p><p>The dimensions of the included .stl files are optimised for printing at 0.2 mm layer height. They also print support-free :)</p><p>I personally use 4x 5mm Deep Feet and 1x 5mm Z Axis Foot ( What the pre-sliced gcode contains and all I have tested ), however, I have to use small paper spacers to stop the printer from rocking as the table my printer is on ( LACK Enclosure ) is not 100% flat, I only uploaded 4mm to 7mm of the Z axis feet as if it was 3mm for example it would be too small for the insert.</p><p>I also strongly recommend printing these with a brim or raft as there is little surface area on the first layer. The pre-sliced gcodes all have brims !</p><p>Happy Printing :)</p>
