The Original Prusa Enclosure is awesome and very sturdy. However, the bottom plate under the printer is only supported on its sides and has significant play over the area under the machine - this causes a lot of vibration and noise (in my case at least, but maybe I assembled it wrong?)
I made these feet that screw onto the bolts that hold the 4 vibration dampeners onto the plate and then supports the plate to the counter top. Significantly less vibration and noise!
Just print 4 of the supports - either for a M3 threaded insert or a tapered hole to turn a bolt into, use some of the longer M3 bolts - I had enough between assembling the Mk4, MMU3 and the enclosure - and turn the screw the supports onto the longer bolt from the bottom. I suppose you could just position them unfastened under the plate and let gravity hold it down, but I would recommend making it a fixture.
I didn't remove the machine to turn the enclosure - just had someone hold it and have it hang over the edge of the table to access the bolts underneath.
Printed in Prusament PETG at 0.15mm layer height, but any settings should work.
I used 5 perimeters.
Hope this helps someone!
