Description
The plug-in feet of the old Revox tape recorders can get lost or break off over time. You can buy them as replicas, but if you have a 3D printer you can now make them yourself.
The original is made of (presumably) ABS and has small blocks of (presumably) rubber that are pushed into it. The device rests directly on these blocks, which probably also serve as dampers against vibrations.
I have tried to reproduce this construction as accurately as possible on my model. The body is made of PLA but you can also use PETG, ASA or ABS. I printed the blocks from TPU with a wall thickness of 2 lines and minimal filling. You can also experiment here yourself. They should only have a certain flexibility if possible.
The photo shows an original part with gray rubber blocks at the back. In the foreground you can see a set of reproduced feet made of PLA + TPU
