Rostock max sorbothane dampening replacement feet

thingiverse

Update: I've added a "spring" type foot that's best printed in ABS or other non-brittle materials, with sorbothane pads mounted to the bottom. I haven't tested them yet but it feels like they might be a bit too soft - I'll update you on the results. Some bolt-on replacement feet designed to reduce vibration coupled into your desk, workbench, or floor are available. I created them to help prevent bothering my neighbors if I want to print overnight. They use nylon nuts and bolts that hold the stock rubber foot caps in place, simply remove the stock ones, slide the nylon bolt through the cup, use a bit of double-sided tape (or dampeners with adhesive pre-applied), stick on the dampener into the cup, and reinstall onto the printer base. I also included some optional caps to go on the bottom side of the dampener, as I've found sorbothane material to be very sticky which can cause them to fuse to any wood or laminate (and possibly other) surfaces they touch over time. I printed both parts from TPU to give them a little bit of grip, but ABS or PLA should work fine too if you're not set up for printing flexible materials. Here's the sorbothane dampeners I recommend - they seem to work fairly well with TPU mounts and pads, no real motor vibration can be felt on the work surface but retractions and sudden moves can still be felt. I'm experimenting with a combination of ABS "spring" feet with sorbothane pads on the bottom to help absorb both lower and higher frequency vibrations.
