UPDATED VERSION !!!! if you downloaded my model before 2024-05-11, I would suggest to download this updated version . First version was made in free cad. Now I'm trying fusion 360. I don't have a picture of the updated back feet because I'm using old version still they are the same as the old version just looks a little better, (you can use all 4 back feet if you want, that will save you around 100g of filament). I wasted enough plastic on this project. If you decide to make or already made a motherboard fan mod, don't worry, there is enough clearance for that(last photo).

 These new front feet are even more stable and prints in one piece.  Also raises the printer by almost 5cm compared to original feet. Back feet prints in two parts . After printing you have to screw them together with two M2 heat inserts and two M2-20 screws (you can glue them if you want) and repeat for the rest. Order some anti vibration pads from ali express , size 10x10x2 cm , They are being sold in packs of 4 and they cost around 1-2 euro with discounts.

After everything is finished, just place the original printer feet inside the socket on the bigger feet and that's it.

Printed with PLA

20% infill
Supports: YES (for the front) , NO (for back ones)
4 walls
3 top and bottom layers.
Support density 15% or 2.5mm space between support lines.
 

Tip: You can set layer height to 0.3mm for faster printing. If you print 0.2mm increase walls by 2 and top/bottom layers by 2. Slow down the speed when printing bottom layer (which lays on supports) on the front feet and slow down the speed when printing top layers on the back feet to get good results. I printed very fast and was playing with temperatures, that's why one feet came out with some small flaws.
