VIbration Isolation Feet Using MIni Hockey Balls

thingiverse

I wanted to isolate my CR-6 SE printer from the desk on which it stands, to cut down on noise and to reduce the risks of printer vibrations impacting prints. I have been very happy with the results of putting my Ender-3 up on squash ball feet, but the CR-6 is that bit heavier and I can see the Ender-3 slowly flattening those squash balls, so I was attracted to [stevenfayers' thing #2772861](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2772861), which includes a foot sized to use racquetballs. When I went shopping for 3 more racquetballs, though, I found something called "mini hockey balls", which are ~50mm in diameter, even harder to compress than racquetballs or squash balls, and cost ~1/2 as much as either of those. I split the base off thing 2772861, scaled the cup to be 50/57 smaller, then reattached the base. I fastened them to the base of the CR-6 SE rails using 2-sided foam mounting tape ("No more nails") I also made an extra (5th) thing 2772861 foot with a racquetball to stick under the arm of the filament reel holder, though I am still looking for a more elegant solution for that, long term. I will update this thing later, with whatever I come up with.
