This model consists of (2) 3d parts. They fit snugly one inside the other around a rubber vibration damper. The damper compresses vertically with about 40 psi of applied force per damper. The printed parts provide a rigid wall to prevent the damper from flexing horizontally.
They are printed vertically with opening facing upward. I created the drawing in Tinkercad and sliced it with Cura 5.2.
Recommended Cura Settings:
Carbon Fiber Filament or PLA+
Nozzle Temp: 200
Bed Temp: 60
Speed: 40mm
Shells/Walls: 3
Infill: 30% Cubic
Adjustments:
Depending on your seat angle preference you can cut the rod ends slightly shorter. The bottom of the shock can be attached with the existing quick release bolt. The top of the shock needs to be attached with a new m6 screw, reuse the small black plastic bushing to remove excessive play.
Assembly:
The drawing below illustrates how the vibration damper attaches to each end. Ideally, you want to determine what the overall length should be, you may need to cut the rod ends.
Finished Product
The drawing below is how the assembled parts should look when fully assembled.
