MPMD Flex Shoes for Monoprice Mini Delta Feet Replacement

Why another set of feet? Wait? Shoes for feet? wtf is going on?

I recently printed the "Monoprice Mini Delta Feet Replacement" by 3Dgoon in PLA, as I didn't have Flex Filament yet.

Now that I have some TPU 55D, I kinda liked the look of the (red) PLA feet that I have too much, and since printing flex is much slower, and I didn't want to wait as long, I decided to make a thinner (5mm) layer of TPU, that can be put right under 3Dgoons feet.

In their description, 3Dgoon suggests using double-sided tape to add it, but I didn't really like that idea as much. The original design does holes for m3 screws, but having the whole printer stand on the screws directly would kinda make the whole flex-layer useless. So i added recesses to the layer, that allows the head of the screw to rest inside the flex shoes, so the shoes will actually be carrying the printer, thus dampening the vibrations.

how to use

• print the feet designed by 3D goon feet designed by 3D goon , I suggest in PLA
• print the shoes in your favorite flex filament (If you want to print flex on your MPMD check out my extruder-top, it will make your life a lot easier)
• remove the screws from the original end plates of the MPMD
• use long m3 screws (~25mm length) to screw feet + shoes on.
