Connecting Rod Sound Dampener

This page lays out the steps required to convert your current Delta Athena II printer to reduce the rattling of the connecting rods during printing.

Design and Printing

Design

This is a relatively simple design, meant to cover the plastic bags which are actually doing the sound dampening. The plastic parts cover the plastic bag so it doesn't interfere with other components of the printer and the rubber band holds the covers stable.


Printing
