Two variations on a theme - both parts can be used interchangeably depending on your preference and to what you're attaching them. Print two parts and capture a squash ball between them to absorb vibration from one side. I use these to sit my heavily modified Ender 3 on, the ‘deadness’ of the squash ball effectively converts high frequency vibrations into heat, removing them from the system. Particularly useful if you're still using bed springs as otherwise those vibrations will be put back into your bed and printed part, but even if not it helps quieten things down and stops vibration being transferred to your floor, desk etc.

I use the yellow dot (least bouncy) squash balls, but it might be worth experimenting. Uses M4 fittings.
