Wanhao Duplicator i3 (Plus) dampeners for AzzA's Z braces
thingiverse
Installed the Azza z-braces mod but still struggling with annoying sounds that come with 3D printing? Try these fixes! Inspired by impressive results I achieved using this hack on my Folger Tech Kossel 2020: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1313461 This design is based on the same geometry as before, but with some cut-outs to snugly fit Azza's z-brace mod, check out the photos. Update June 2016: Some people had issues with dampeners collapsing within a couple of weeks. This could be due to problems with the filament used. I've added a reinforced version of the dampeners now, featuring 25 mm depth (up from 20 mm) and 15 mm spacing between the upper and lower part (up from 12 mm). This should provide extra tolerance if you encounter issues. My suggestion: If printing in PETG or ABS, use the standard version. If using cheap PLA filament from Esun, Hobbyking etc., use the reinforced version (...reinforced.stl) instead. Have fun! Update Sept 2016: For DI3 Plus owners, just use the reinforced dampeners - they fit perfectly (Thanks Joemadd3n!). 2nd Update Sept 2016: Added a video to help with installation. Update Oct 2016: Worried about side-to-side wobble or sagging of the y frame? Use teknikk7's additional middle dampeners: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1800476 Print Settings: Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm layer height, 0.4 mm nozzle diameter Infill: 100% Notes: Print four times (yes, that's right - four!). Designed for PLA, but feel free to print in any other plastic you like. Just make sure to use 100% infill. The wall thickness is 1.6 mm only, so either print a single perimeter wall or two at max to avoid issues with slicing software. Video time!
