this is my attempt at creating some vibration dampening feet for my ender 3 pro, but this will work with any printer frame that uses 4040 or 4020 extrusions as frames.
This design uses small 31mm (diameter) bouncy balls that we all loved to play with as children, and takes advantage of their bounciness to dampen the vibrations that would have been otherways transmitted to the table, further emphasizing the noise of the printer.
this is a Two piece design, created to minimize ugly supports while keeping the rounded esthetics. The two parts are supposed to be a very-tight fit, to minimize stress on the part, it is recommended to insert one side first, pushing it into place, and only afterwards push the V-slot piece into the ball socket.
I included the STEP file, so that you can edit it if you fell like the tolerances are too tight or want to customize.
The stl file is pre-oriented, just open it and press slice!
hope you love it :)
