Hey all,  
I’m reading mixed reviews on these [http://www.ultibots.com/nema-17-damper-astrosyn-my17rmdamp/](http://www.ultibots.com/nema-17-damper-astrosyn-my17rmdamp/)

They seem to dampen sound well it appears but what about print quality? Does anyone have any experience with these or similar?

Thx.

Several have used them, including one from lulzbot: [https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/nema-17-motor-vibration-damper-night-and-day/2367/1](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/nema-17-motor-vibration-damper-night-and-day/2367/1)

I have one on my Taz5. I have not noticed any difference in print quality at all.

I definitely can’t tell the difference on my prints as well. Highly recommended!

No difference in quality here, and I am able to use my still secret y axis pensioner with them.

Its 100% worth the upgrade. I can actually forget the printer is next to me when I work and my prints are still beautiful
