Vibration Dampening Foot - Squash Ball

thingiverse

This printer foot is designed to work with any printer that has either a corner post or two to three 2020 or 3030 extrusions connected at the bottom. It elevates the printer by approximately 40mm+ off the extrusions. For optimal performance, I recommend using double-yellow squash balls, which are known for their hardness. A set of four should cost less than $15. The joint part has been thoroughly tested and installed on my own printer. The small hole is intended to accommodate a short M3 cylinder head screw that slots into the bottom of the extrusion for a secure three-piece connection. Installing this feature is entirely optional. The post part, however, requires further testing before it can be considered reliable. It necessitates a M6-10mm bolt and either a pre-tapped or press-fit connection at the end of the extrusion without any securing screw. I may revise the design to make it easier to print in the future. Support is required only for the post part.
