Lulzbot Mini noise reduction.. Shhhh! - Mantis Hacks E11

In this video I make some modifications to my newly acquired but second hand LulzBot Mini to make it quieter! Don't worry, I'll be back with more Giant Lego soon!

That's a pretty good improvement! I'd probably do it too but I like my printer to be loud enough to scare my neighbor's dogs.
btw, is that Ratatat at 7:00?

+gordontarpley the music? It was some royalty free stuff I found in the GoPro editor I think..

.
did you also have rubbers between the printer and the table?
Good luck and friendly greetings from the Netherlands!

[@MattDenton]

+R. Rob yes I have rubber feet on printer, but they could be improved!

[@radiorob007]

OK
yes, because the table also serves as a sound board
I myself have 2 DIY Prusa I3 with ArduinoM. and Ramps 1.4
(works with ups and downs)
Greetings from Rotterdam area Netherlands!

i don't know if its possible to change the stepper-driver in this - some time ago i experimented with steppers and with this also tried and used the SilenStepStick (github.com/watterott/SilentStepStick)
its amazing: with this driver my stepper was really silent - barely audible..
(but eventually then the steppers have not enough torque..)

[@MattDenton]

+Stefan Krüger interesting! The probably use a different step mode but lose torque in the process..
