This is a replacement rubber foot for an Hermes Media typewriter from the 1950s. They should also work for the corresponding era's Hermes 2000.

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.

This design is based on the original feet. They just screw into the machine's bottom with a screw and washer.  Original feet had become extremely hard, brittle, and deformed (see the last two pictures). The feet are designed to fit into cups at the bottom of the case, but they also work on a desk.
