How many options of shock absorbers (dampers) for the printer legs?
Have you noticed that they are all somehow irrational and bulky?
But there is such a wonderful material as silicone sealant. He is very elastic but elastic enough.
For my Tronxy XY-2 printer, it turned out to be enough to make 4 gaskets under the legs 3 mm thick.
If you have a heavier printer, you can increase the area of the gasket, the elasticity of the gasket is easily regulated by its thickness.
Make gaskets easier than ever, make the ring the desired thickness and fill it with silicone.I printed the matrix (so that the pads were inserted inside the legs), smeared it inside with a cotton swab with hand cream, smeared all surfaces with a toothpick with sealant inside the matrix and filled it with silicone sealant.
The model is primitive. You can make it in any simple 3D editor.
