I was on a mission to try and find a way to both quieten my 3d printer, as well as have virtually no vibrations shaking the house and keeping everyone awake, while also not sacrificing print times and quality. I've tried dozens of different ideas and feet designs to try and reduce the amount of noise coming from my printer, but none would meet my expectations.
My design, on the other hand, significantly reduces the noise given off by the 3d printer, with now the limiting factor being the blower fans, and has also ELIMINATED vibrations, which means people won't even know that youre 3d printing overnight.
I initially tried super wide and soft conical springs, which didnt need a design to keep upright, and it worked really well, but they were just too soft, which meant in certain situations would bottom out and bang a lot, as well as if you wanted to move the printer, the springs werent attatched whichg meant that you had to realign the springs every time you moved the printer.
