This is a replacement rubber foot for a Blickensderfer 5 typewriter. It might work with other Blickensderfer models, but this was only tested with a 1909 aluminum Blickensderfer 5.

I initially created cylindrical feet, and then added some "bulged" feet to look a little more like the presumed originals. Finally, because the left rear foot is near a screw, I created one version with a notch to clear that screw.

Print settings:

  • I used Siraya Tech Flex TPU - 85A Filament

  • Shore 95A TPU is too hard.

  • Softer TPU should work as well, but I haven't tried.

  • 85A gives decent grip on a smooth surface.

  • I fed the TPU directly to the extruder, no PTFE tubing.

The feet just push into the holes in the machine's metal base. In my instance, there is a wood screw in the left rear hole, and the new foot simply screws into that as well.
