I wanted something that could raise the printer up some and then saw you could also use the 2 yellow dot squash balls as feet to dampen vibration. I liked the two options I found but one looks tough to print (the tabs) and the other didn't latch onto the printer at all nor grasp the ball so it would stay in, so I merged them together in tinkered. Also made it to where it snaps in, so no tools, disassembly or fasteners required. Model also seems to print ok without supports. did some cutaways for filament / time savings as well. Ran these with 3 parameters and 20% infill (gyroid). If you have further changes for looks or functionality please do so!
