Anti-vibration feet brace

Hi,

I need information about feet spacing of X1Carbon machine. I am having some problems with new anti-vibration feet. They buckle and slide of position. I need to put them on some sort of brace so they will stay in position to each other. This will solve problem. Please send me feet spacing and size drawing it,s better tan taking dimensions from nature.

Are you talking about the way the silicone buckles and rolls over? I stopped that with a simple cap around them. One other positive is, the caps help constrict the feet from bending over under vertical load, so the ground clearance is increased.

Thanks but solution you propose seems like restricting movement. I am thinking about brace for lowest portion of feet only. So that they stay in relation to each other.

Feet buckle and slide and bend when they have not enough grip on the surface they are standing on. In my case it’s relatively smooth wooden table.
This happens because there is freedom of movement for each individual foot. If I was to countersunk in the table for feet then it probably be fine but I don’t want to do that for obvious reasons. :slight_smile: I will post a project shortly.

Yep, its all about constricting the movement. The only way to keep the feet in place is to constrict them.

One other thing you can try, it to print a TPU insert that fits tightly in the middle. Like this. It should support the weight of the printer while allowing it to sway and absorb vibrations. Actually I think I’ll try it myself. Note, I’m thinking you’ll have to play with the thickness, height of the insert, and possibly the print slicing infill to make it easy to bend, but hard to compress.

Does anyone have an answer to the OPs question? I too would like the center to center dimensions of the feet. I downloaded a model which has the feet at 322 mm sq. but I saw in another post that they are 345 mm sq so I would like to verify.

All the foot models that I’ve seen have been symmetrical. I would expect the center-to-center distance of the feet to be the same as the standard feet. Lay your printer on its side and measure.
