I designed these very simple anti-vibration pads as part of an interesting forum discussion on vibrations resulting from running 3D-printers. It is my hope, that these pads allow a better understanding of the theory of vibrations through free experimentation. As such, I'll outline a little background on why some things are a really good idea and how very simple means may be used by Makers to improve their set-up in a playfull manner.At the end of this exploration, interested Makers should have learned:Why pavers are beautifulWhy vibration insulation actually makes your printer bounce around moreWhy soft is better than hardWhy mass matters (a little) more than dampingAnd most importantly:How to use these to take the next step and move from a Vibration Isolator to a Vibration Absorber What you'll need:A 3D printer (obviously)A quarter of a dry roll of TPU 95A or TPU 95A HS to print this simple model a bunch of times using default settingsA paverA wooden board (40X40cm or larger)Curiousit
