Low Profile Prusa Mini Anti-Vibration Feet - OUTDATED v2

THESE FEET ARE OUTDATED NOW !!! IF YOU HAVE COME ACROSS THESE AND WANT THE LATEST VERSION PLEASE CLICK THIS TEXT

After looking around a common solution for dampening feet for the Mini is to use squash balls. I don't doubt this wouldn't be effective but I believe that this is a little over the top and complicated as there are different sizes of squash balls further complicating the process. And being a student with little excess cash, saving money where possible is always a benefit :) . So I decided to design a simple, single 3D printed piece, solution.This design is heavily inspired by similar feet for the ender 3 designed by redmaxver which can be found on thingiverse through this link >> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2913473

Please consider leaving a like as it means a lot to me, 2 seconds of your time for many minutes of mine seems like a good deal.

• Some people have noticed an issue with the z axis foot being too high, if you are running into a similar issue I highly recommend you check out the remix by pencilneck here >> https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63641-prusa-mini-anti-vibration-feet-shims-z-axis-remix
• Side Note: I am testing with printing these in PETG and fixed the source files, they now include both the deep and z axis feet

• Uploaded the Z Axis Edition, this replace the foam foot that supports the Z axis, also updated description accordingly and print files etc.

Date: 18/02/21

• Updates made in regard to changes made to PrusaPrinters and the ability to add folders etc…

Date: 07/02/21

• I made some updates to the description and updated the print files, added a new version of the PLA and a PETG file ( this can be found in the user print files section ) - 18/02/21 - These files have been relocated to the "Print Files" section.

• I have uploaded new feet ( 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 7mm ) with different depths. I haven't experimented with them to find an ideal combination but what works for one printer may not work for another as it depends on how much the foam feet have deformed.

• You may need to add little pieces of paper into some of the feet to act as a sort of spacer. I found that when placed my printer on an Ikea Lack table it rocks slightly. After a minute this was eliminated with some simple little pieces of paper place inside/underneath some of the feet.

Print instructions

Printer: Prusa MINI

Rafts: Yes

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.2

Infill: 100%

Filament: Prusament PLA or PETG

Additional Comments:

Printing these in either PLA or PETG will work fine but with PETG being less ridged than PLA it may result in better vibration reduction.

The dimensions of the included .stl files are optimised for printing at 0.2 mm layer height. They also print support-free :)

I personally use 4x 5mm Deep Feet and 1x 5mm Z Axis Foot ( What the pre-sliced gcode contains and all I have tested ), however, I have to use small paper spacers to stop the printer from rocking as the table my printer is on ( LACK Enclosure ) is not 100% flat, I only uploaded 4mm to 7mm of the Z axis feet as if it was 3mm for example it would be too small for the insert.

I also strongly recommend printing these with a brim or raft as there is little surface area on the first layer. The pre-sliced gcodes all have brims !

Happy Printing :)
