About this model

I had been searching for a simple way to add a damper to my x-axis stepper motor, but I couldn't find any that I was excited about. This adapter is as simple as I can make it. Benefits compared to other options * Simple to install * No firmware changes required * No structural compromises (it's attaches to the original metal assembly) The only downside is that it requires 3 x M3*8mm screws. The up side is that your printer will be much quieter! Also, check out these other mods that dramatically reduce the sound of your Ender 3 * Y-Axis Stepper Damper * Z-Axis Stepper Damper * Low Profile Feet Enjoy the silence... Updates: 2019.04.28 - I updated the stepper adapter to accommodate placing a heat sink on the side of the motor. I have needed one, but I wanted to help those of you who do. see (…
