CR-10 TPU Feet

Last crawled date: 5 years, 3 months ago

I was using Dr Boo's squash ball feet which worked great but my CR-10 controller failed and the MKS Gen V1.4 replacement wouldn't fit in the controller box so I decided to ditch the box and put everything on or under the printer. The box I printed for the new controller with a cooling fan for the stepper drivers fitted on top of the case left very little free space between the fan and the bed adjustment knobs so I remixed the squash ball feet to give me more space and printed flexible feet with TPU filament to give the noise and vibration isolation similar to the squash balls.
The PLA legs are printed in PLA, 4 perimeter walls, top & bottom layers with 35% infill
The TPU feet have 3 walls, top & bottom layers to give enough strength not to collapse under the weight of the printer with 20% infill so they can flex enough to give the isolation.
The TPU feet are a very tight fit and I needed to put one edge in then prise the rest in with a large, blunt flat blade screwdriver. Once the foot was in all the way round I pressed on the mounting plate to push the foot all the way in. The foot sits 10mm inside the leg to ensure it won't come out easily.
I have been asked to link to the mods on my printer so here they are....
