PrintrBot Simple Metal Stability Feet\nAuthor: Donald L. Merand for Explo\nWhat Is It?\nUsing a PrintrBot Simple Metal without feet can be extremely precarious, depending on how your filament is attached or balanced. This DIY solution aims to rectify that issue. Surprisingly, it functions fairly well!\nAdditionally, attaching non-slip rubber to the bottom of these feet transforms them into sound and vibration isolators, greatly reducing resonant noise amplified by the table beneath.\nHow Do I Make One?\nThis stability foot requires diagonal printing on a PBSM due to its width exceeding that of the print bed. If you're resourceful, you can print two at once, which is all you'll need.\nThe presence of a non-stick surface underneath helps significantly. I employed adhesive-backed rubber, but this is entirely optional.\nWhat If I Have Special Needs?\nI've parameterized the entire model using OnShape, making it simple for you to copy and modify as needed.\nIf you have any questions or requirements, feel free to ask me directly, and I'll be happy to assist.\nPlease let me know if you create one of these stability feet; your feedback is greatly appreciated!\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: Printrbot\nPrinter: Simple Black\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nResolution: 0.3mm\nInfill: 15%\nNotes: This model is designed to print on its side, as it's more resistant to the forces applied when printed in that orientation. You may need to rotate the model by 45º to accommodate an actual PBSM.
