Qidi Tech 1 Foot Extension / Dampener

Wanted a foot spacer to lift the printer away from the surface slightly (15mm) and provide some dampening / ant-vibration but not so much the printer would wobble about.

I printed using TPE which has given the perfect result, but TPU or PLA would be just as good I suspect. Although any non-rubber based filaments will reduce to being purely more of a spacer for air flow only, rather than offering any dampening.

Will share my basic settings in the section below as had a lot of trouble printing with TPE until these were dialled in...now printing very well :)

Included the STL file for the spacer, but also the Solidworks files for the original foot fitted to the Qidi Tech 1 in case you need to check you have the same fitted or wish to remix.
