Vibration Dampener for Prusa i3 : The Springy Feet

Description

This Is A Vibration Dampener For Prusa I3. It Is Very Effective As It Reduces A Lot Of Decibels Of The Noise Of The Printer. Once I Mesured The Noise With And Without This Dampener But I Don'T Remember The Exact Results. I Think It Was Aproximatively 70 Db At 1M Without The Dampener On A Wooden Table, And 50 Db In The Same Conditions With The Springy Feet. So Approximately -20 Db Wich Is Hudge ! It Fits Perfectly Under The Feets Of My Prusa I3 Rework, It Should Fit Under An Original Prusa I3 Mk2 Too, Or Any Prusa I3 With Rectangular Printed Feets. **The Silence Is Golden You'Ll Never Go Back To The Machine Without These Dampeners !** There Has Been Sevral Attemps To Reduce The Noise Of The Machines, With [This](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1891939) Or Some People Have Put Slates Of Concrete Under Their Printer... I Believe My Design Is More Effective, Because It Is A True 3D Shape (An Helix) Rather Than An Extruded 2D Shape, It'S A More Elegant Solution. The Spring Will Creep (Deform) Under Constant Load But The Phenomenon Will Stop At Some Point, And The Print Will Remain Functional, It'S Designed For. There'S A Native Cad File Included (.Catpart) And A .Stp, A .Slt, A .Factory, A Plan In .Pdf And A .Stl Version With A Flat Top And One With Just The Spring, So You Can Put How It Under Whatever You Want, Whatever Size You Want, How Many You Want !
