This part creats some tension on the metal side panels of the Original Prusa XL, which leads to less resonance on those while printing. Effectively reducing the rattle sounds on thos panels (only). If the part alone is not helping enough in your case, you can try to put some foam adhesive on the tip of it for even more dampening effect.

See installation instruction photo for the installation process. No additional hardware is needed.

Printing advice:

Using PETG or similar with 3 walls and 15% adaptive cubic infill leads to the correct stiffness of the part to be able to bend it in place without breaking but still providing enough tension on the metal panels
Using PLA could lead to the part to be too stiff to be installed
