Anti-vibration feet for hard disk, aluminum profile, more (parametric)

I wanted to eliminate some quite prominent vibration noise from some hard disks I have on a shelf beside my home server machine, which propagated through the shelf and into surrounding walls.

I made these anti-vibration feet which double as a vertical hard drive enclosure stand. They work even better than I had hoped, reducing the vibration noise to almost nothing! I bet they would make good vibration dampers for a printer with aluminum profiles at the bottom like the Prusa MINI.

For maximum effectiveness, consider some space to add foam or felt pads for the device to rest onto and for the surface that comes into contact with the “ground”.

The parametric Fusion file is included so you can customize them for your exact device and foam pad thickness you'll be using.

Customization

The main parameters you'll want to change:

• thing_width : The width (or thickness) of the thing you want to hold, for example the thickness of a HDD enclosure or the width of an aluminum profile.
• thing_side_clearance : The thickness of the side foam pads you plan to use (if any).
