Astrosyn Dampers (Reduce vibration and printer noise!)

I've started stocking Astrosyn Dampers as add-ons to 3D printers that use NEMA 17 sized motors. These dampers are specifically built to reduce printer noise and vibrations and are easy to install on most printers, the only requirement is that the motors and pulleys must be able to be moved 6mm back as that is the height of the damper.


Price is $23 shipped in the USA for a set of three, or $16.50 for a set of two. At this point I am not stocking mounting hardware but if there is a lot of demand for specific printers I would be happy to get screws for different models of printers.

I take direct paypal payment (or just ask me for an invoice through paypal), please PM me to get my paypal address. Feel free to contact me by PM or posting here if youneed special quantities or international purchases. Postage will be through USPS first class mail unless otherwise specified.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about these. I am very flexible with shipping, etc.



If you want more info on these, check out these threads, I have sold them there under the same username. These are pretty awesome!

Would anyone be interested if I were able to get the mounting screws needed for a Prusa kit?

I currently am also stocking sized NEMA 23 dampers, if anyone has a ginourmous printer that is too loud!

I have a ginormous printer that uses NEMA 23 motors and is too loud. Did you ever get an order together for some of the dampers for NEMA 23s?

Yes I did, and I still have a few in stock. PM me and let me know how many you are looking for and I will let you know how much everything will be shipped.

Edit: for all who are interested in NEMA 17 sized dampers I am currently out of stock and will likely be out of stock until the end of October/Early November. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm back in stock! And I've switched damper types! These aren't Astrosyns anymore (sorry for the misleading thread title!). This new variety should offer a more stable platform for motors while still dampening the sound quite similarly to the originals.

How does the new style work compared to the first ones? I am thinking about getting some hoping that my print quality improves. I went to 400 step motors and a smoothie board on my Rmax v1 too so I already have less noise. I havent printed with it yet, but since going to ball joints, my prints look terrible. It is possible it is belt over the idler bearings and a hobbed or maybe printed GT2 type idler would help. Do these work a lot better than say making a cork or rubber gasket I wonder? I could put the screws on rubber too.
