Remix of Squash ball feet for Prusa Mini. All brackets bolt into aluminum extrusions and support the electronic's box.

Highlights:

  • Massive Noise Reduction
  • Improved Stability (Lifting the magnetic sheet won't tilt the printer)
  • 6 Support Points without increasing operational footprint.

 

This is inspired in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4752965 from jrjonescan, I love the weight distribution and support points choice. But it was too bulky, so I recreated the low profile from Vektor.

  • Print 3x Single Foot (If you are going to use the Spool holder print only 2x)
  • 1x each other model
You will need:
  • 6x Squash Balls (double yellow dot)
  • 5x M6 x 12mm Bolts
  • 5x M6 T-Nuts
  • *If using the spool holder setup, you will also need:
    • 2x 608 bearings. Alternatively, you can reuse the originals from the mini Spool Holder.
    • 1x of the Original Prusa Mini Foam Feet (The spool holder includes a slot)

 

Spool Holder:

This is a remix of the popular Spool Holder from Max with the Squash Ball foot + the "Filler" Filament Roller.
 

Print instructions
