Remember the poll about tennisball-dampeners ( Google Workspace Updates: New community features for Google Chat and an update on Currents ) ? I did try them and, oh boy, they work like a charm! Before, I the best dampener I had was a stack of three packs of tissues under each foot and the tennisball-dampener are way more silent! Full recommendation!

Good to know. Any negative side effects so far?

It looks like there’s a custom foot to cradle the tennis ball vibration damper. Is there a Thingiverse entry for the cradle-feet? In earlier times, I was considering to try laser holography. Very vibration sensitive and long-duration exposures measured in minutes. One constructed a high-volume sand table and placed many many lawn tractor tire inner tubes under the table to dampen vibration. Tennis balls are smaller scale for this operation!

You could use racquetballs if you wanted something less obviously thrown together…

Wow

Any negative printing side effects? I printed feet for my printer in Ninjaflex and kept getting weird lines like Z wobble but they were gone after removing the feet.

Very nice, thank you for that!

Those are great, I might have to make some for my Raise3D N2+. I’m in an apartment and even though I’m on the bottom floor I have a wood subfloor instead of concrete. Right now I’m using some high density foam which helps a lot but I think these would be much better.

These ones work really well too …
