Tired of that annoying buzz from your aquarium pump? The problem isn't the pump — it's the rigid mount transmitting motor vibration straight to the glass, which amplifies it.
This is a drop-in TPU replacement for the stock rigid mount on Newa powerheads. It decouples the pump from the suction cups using flexible spokes, killing vibration transfer to the glass.
How it works:
The stock mount is rigid plastic — vibrations at 50Hz go motor → mount → suction cups → glass → noise. This TPU version absorbs them before they reach the glass. Simple as that.
Specs:
• Material: TPU 95A (don't use harder — it won't dampen enough)
• Print time: ~30 min
• Weight: ~5g
• Tested on: Newa Powerhead (should fit other similar mounts)
• Printer: Prusa Core One
Result:
From noticeable buzz to basically silent. No mods to the pump, fully reversible.
Tips:
• Spoke lengths are intentionally asymmetric (11, 12, 13mm) to avoid resonance in the mount itself
• Print with 100% infill or gyroid — the part needs to be solid, not hollow
• The mount should flex perpendicular to the glass but stay rigid parallel to it
