quiet feet for Ender 3

thingiverse

A3D printers can be notoriously loud, but some creative solutions can make a huge difference. One way to reduce the noise is to use a table or desk as a soundboard for the printer, while the legs of the desk couple into the floor, allowing the printer to be heard clearly in the room below. However, this setup isn't ideal, and quiet feet are a more effective solution. These compliant supports can decouple the printer from the desk, making it significantly quieter in the room and even completely inaudible from the room below. One design for quiet feet has already been created on Thingiverse, but it had some stability issues due to its two-part design. To address this, a one-part design was developed that clicks positively into the 40mm frame of the printer, providing excellent stability. To fine-tune the stiffness of the quiet feet, users can adjust the wall thickness when slicing the model. A 1mm thickness was used in this design for optimal results. If you want to place quiet feet at each corner of your printer, you'll need to print three versions with four blocks on top and one version with just three blocks, as the fourth block would interfere with the main board casing.
