Squash Ball Anti Vibration Mount For 3D Printer (CR-10/CR-10S)

thingiverse

These are anti-vibration mounts designed to hold a squash ball for use as feet on a 3D printer. Various versions of the mount cater to different extrusions (2020 or 2040) using M4 and M5 hardware. You'll need four double yellow dot squash balls (40mm diameter) and suitable hardware. The existing stock CR-10/CR-10S feet' hardware can be utilized, but some models feature a pre-drilled hole in the extrusions, requiring drop-in slot nuts and shorter screws (see below for specific requirements). Versions Explained: * Anti-Vibration Mount M4: designed for 2040 extrusion * Anti-Vibration Mount M4 (2020): designed for 2020 extrusion * Anti-Vibration Mount M4 Multi: adaptable to either 2020 or 2040 extrusions * Anti-Vibration Mount M5: designed for 2040 extrusion * Anti-Vibration Mount M5 (2020): designed for 2020 extrusion * Anti-Vibration Mount M5 Multi: compatible with both 2020 and 2040 extrusions Hardware Requirements: * M4 x 8mm - or - M5 x 8mm socket head screws * Drop-in slot nuts, available in M4 or M5 sizes Update (2018-01-03): An "intro" or "blue dot" ball with a 12% larger size has been confirmed to fit these mounts. These balls have higher internal pressure and will provide more bouncy characteristics, potentially affecting dampening performance compared to the intended yellow dot or pro balls. Hardware Update (2018-04-09): Some CR-10S models are equipped with pre-drilled holes in the extrusions, spaced 35mm apart for mounting feet. Users of these printers require shorter hardware and drop-in slot nuts matching their printer's specifications (M4 or M5 to suit 2020/204 extrusions). Sound Metering Data (2018-04-13): A big thank you goes to Cole Pavlina, who conducted thorough sound metering tests comparing before-and-after installations. This comparison showcases the impact of installing anti-vibration feet in a detailed manner. The complete sound metering analysis results can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/gJLsL
