Replicator Isolator Feet
Description
Instructions
Note that this is for a quantity eight, so there are enough there for two Replicators (or whatever else you might want to isolate).
The .scad file and .stl have been changed to accommodate the 1.25" dia of the isolator. Pretty much just print, peel, and stick; then put the foot on your Replicator. I've noticed that the plywood thickness seems to vary a bit, so in case these don't grip the sides tight enough, I've added a couple of holes on the inside edge that could be used for some 3mm screws that should do the job.
If you think you can bridge the inset on the foot, go ahead and try (it wouldn't show later anyway), but I printed with support.

Printed a pair with +1 shell, 20% fill - fit perfectly snug on all corners and the vibration asorbers look good. Might need to print again with more shells or higher fill to make as strong as possible....but I thought I'd try with less plastic first to avoid the fit being too tight.
I just now noticed the cavity on the bottom. Did you print this with support enabled?
Also, I see there are holes for set-screws. Were those ultimately used when you installed the feet?
I did use support, but I didn't really like the results. Actually, there probably isn't a really good reason for the cavity other than is serves to center the isolator when sticking it on.
I don't use the screws on my current replicator, but it looks like the ply I received for the XL mod is thinner, so I might have to there.
Thank you for the script and link!
I'm going to try out investing in the 2.5" feet to see how they work. :)

These feet from McMaster-Carr look very similar - P/N 8215K6. You can buy them individually for $3.33 ea.
Good find! Those do indeed appear very similar, if not identical.
