Sovol SV08 Squash Ball Feet

Sovol SV08 Squash Ball Feet. Using Standard 40mm Squash Balls (double yellow dot).

printed with the cup facing upwards on a Sovol SV08, without supports, but added a brim.

printed using a 0.4mm nozzle with 0.2mm layer height, 3 layer wall loops, 4 layers top and 4 layers bottom.  Printed in PETG and its incredibly strong.

you will obviously need 4x of them :) 

holds the squash ball snug as it's designed to be a little under size (1mm), and also has a flat bottom on the inside which pre-loads the squash ball as they obviously deform under weight.

why these in lieu of the standard flat rubber feet.... I think they work better for vibration elimination and with improvements to the input shaper calibration algorithm to improve the harmonic frequencies of the system.  Your mileage may vary.  

They are designed to clear the Z axis pulleys, and only provide minimal lift in height from the original flat discs.  They were not designed to accommodate additional fans under the unit (was not something I was seeking to do at the time or now).

You will need to rerun the input shaper calibration once they are fitted.

I printed mine one at a time, just by choice, and they take about 19 mins to print but about 25 allowing for all of the other homing stuff as part of the standard sovol sv08 with the eddy sensor (sovol) installed.

I've added the pad foot from the Sovol SV08 manufactures assembly drawing that I exported as a starting point.

Model is provided and was created in FREECAD using the part library and boolean operations for a simple part or uniform shape and cutouts.
