I wanted to get rid of some more vibration on my printer because it sits on a very thin table. I put a solid concrete block underneath it and it made a HUGE difference. I had some left over clear PTU from a project that was getting quite old so I thought I would play around with some vibration dampening feet. 

After about 30 different versions with many different version of infill I found this to be by far the best. The shape is pretty basic. Enough to widen the footprint but not take up too much space. The infil is where I found the magic to happen. 

I did 3 layers of infill. 
Bottom and top layer with 3 walls and mid part with 2 walls. 
Bottom 5mm at 15% infill in Honeycomb. To give it a solid base.
Middle  +-25mm at 10% infill in Gyrod. This seem to remove all the excess vibration.
Top at 10% infill in 3D honeycomb. To give it strength where the foot fits in and all the weight and vibration happens. 

I then added a fussy skin outer to make it look a little nicer. Wasn't too fazed about that though. 

This has worked GREAT from my setup. If you play around with different infills I would love to hear what worked best for you.
