Tevo Tornado (CR-10) antivibration legs

thingiverse

People who build 3D printers with Prusa construction often experience large vibrations within the frame. These vibrations are transmitted to the printed object, resulting in a decrease in the quality of 3D printing. Various soft materials like polyethylene foam can improve the situation but lose their shape quickly and become unusable, requiring frequent replacement. Many people have tried using plastic anti-vibration legs with mixed results. Some individuals prefer using anti-vibration legs made from tennis balls, but I find them too large and soft. Some users resort to using squash balls, which are relatively expensive. After searching for alternatives, I found a more suitable solution - toy balls for dogs. These balls have a 45mm diameter and offer excellent performance at an affordable price. I developed the shape of the legs based on these balls and now my printer stands on ideal anti-vibration feet. This design features two versions of the legs. The first version has a 40mm base, suitable for standard use, with a total height of 53mm when including the ball. The second version has a 55mm base, perfect for standalone mods, with a total height of 68mm. For those who want to replicate this mod without searching for specific balls, I've found similar ones on Aliexpress. Here's a link: http://ali.onl/1agP I also created a video demonstrating these legs in action. Although the video is in Russian, you can still understand its content and design principles without sound.
