A customizable vibration damper / spring. All the credits for the original design goes to Bagelturf:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39963
Because I couldn't adjust this design, within my capabilities, I created a fully customizable OpenSCAD file. Easy to adjust In the Customizer app of Thingiverse. Of course, adjusting within Openscad is also possible.
Thinner rings, more layers and/or fewer vertical walls (bridging!) makes it more absorbing but weaker. The other way around, less springy but stronger.
Calculating the height of the spring -> Height = nlayers * heightlayer + thickring
The enclosed stl-file (with the standard values in customizer) is strong enough to carry a Tevo Tornado. After a little testing I will share a nice and simple design for printerlegs/feet with this spring. So stay tuned :).
Update: You can find an application of these dampers here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3880455 and here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3798349

Happy customizing, springing and absorbing :)
Update 04-08-2020: Added a square spring on request.
Designed in OpenScad.
Sliced in Slic3r. Important: use concentric infill.
