Easy to use:

• print at least 3 of them (4 are of course better), and place them under your printer chassis.
  Each model has a M6 screw hole so that you can use M6X12mm + TNuts to hold them in place
• place tennis balls under the feets

Benefits

• Reduces noise
• Reduces low frequecy vibrations
• Slightly increase print quality
• Give you moree space to use under the printer (for tools ....)
• Fun to use
