3D Printer Dampening Feet Noise Test
10 times less noise! I just purchased my Creality Ender 3 Pro and after modified the HW(will write what I have modified later) and turning, turning, and more turning. It finally worked well after a month. Many people in the Facebook group discussing what parts could self-print to upgrade. One of them was the dampening feet to reduce noise. I tested the noise level in dB with Google Science Journal APP . The test duration was 31 seconds with PLA, 0.2 layer high, 100% infill. Please see the results below. My Testing Results In my test, Dampening feet reduced about 11 dB* about 10 times less noise! This is quite amazing! However, few people in Facebook groups mentioned that there might be other disadvantages, such as wobbling when printing tall objects and these feet might broken easily. * A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 dB. * A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 dB.
