Offset Ender Squashball Feet
Print Profile(1)
Bill of Materials
- M4 T-Nuts x 8: 2x per foot works, can use more if you feel the need.
- M4 x 10mm Cap Head Socket Screws x 8: Needs the same number as t-nuts
- Double Yellow Squash Balls (40mm) x 4: Any decent sports store. I used Dunlop.
Description
Solving a problem I encountered while modding my Ender. Squashball feet are excellent for large fan clearance height plus vibration and noise isolation but everyone centers them under the extrusions which makes fitting large fan covers difficult with the intrusion to their space.
So I redesigned from scratch with the balls offset outwards to clear the other underside parts.
Recommend double yellow dot squashballs for the best isolation experience.
Much to my surprise PLA has held up quite well to over a year of high speed bedslinging. I did print them pretty strong though. I'd suggest you think about PETG for a more durable, cold creep resistant plastic.
Each foot uses 2x M4 cap head screws and T-nuts to secure them to the extrusions with holes for 4. Rear feet have specific left-right cutouts to clear furniture and bolts on the extrusions.
