Universal printer vibration dampener remix

thingiverse

A 3D printer dampener designed for use with a practice PU golf ball (41 mm diameter). This remix is based on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1992030, featuring 25% faster print times and 33% less material usage. The goal was to create a stronger and more efficient design by reducing the amount of material used and shortening the printing time. On my printer: The original file required 5.88 meters of PLA filament, took 79 minutes to print, and consumed 18 grams of material (17% infill, 0.2 mm layer thickness, no support). However, the remixed file demands only 4.04 meters of PLA filament, reduces printing time to 60 minutes, and uses 12 grams of material (17% infill, 0.2 mm layer thickness, no support). A prototype made from a raw plank demonstrates noticeable noise reduction, allowing for quiet printing even during nighttime hours.

The practice PU golf ball used in this project can be found by searching "pu practice golf ball" on a web search engine. Print Settings: Printer: DiscoEasy200 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 17% Notes: Infill levels have little impact due to the minimal inner volume. Printing time is approximately 54 minutes, consuming 12 grams of PLA filament at a 0.2 mm resolution. The SCAD file contains no parameters for customization.
