Vibrationdamper for Kenwood Chef

thingiverse

My wife makes the best pizza anywhere around here. If the original vibration dampers (5 feet) of the "Kenwood Chef" dough kneading machine crumble, you'll be facing some tough times – and if you can't come up with a quick solution, things will get really bad. After designing them, we had to choose the right filament material, something like PLA-Soft, PLA-Flex or TPU S-Flex. It needed to be elastic and rubbery, absorb vibrations well, and not slip away on the granite base. With our 3D printer, we printed six pieces (one reserve) and installed them in the Kenwood dough kneading machine. The new vibration dampers have been working great for half a year now, and they've proven themselves to be really effective. It's essential that the hole stays in the center, making the structure stronger if at least four perimeter shells/walls are set up in the slicer. The vibration dampers have a diameter of 15.2 mm and a support height of 4.2 mm. The cones fit into the machine's five 8 mm holes perfectly.
