TPU Printer Damper Suspension

This thingy I created for damping my Printer.
I've seen the various Damper designs, but they were not looking so good.
So I thought about using my TPU capabilties to create a Suspension Damper, like the Nitroglycerin suspensions in the past.
Futher the TPU material reduces the swinging perfectly.

Fail-Safe operation for this thing is to let the original feed down to the ground.

The shim at the top adds strength to prevent the bars to collapse the print.

The vertical opens I start to design in from now on to prevent warping. I've seen another design and it made perfectly sense: until it is required for stability, there is no long track to pull.
