<p>It did improve a bit the print quality after putting the dampers, but that may just be a bit subjective, no real comparison done. Vibrations are substantially dampened and even having the printer as I do right now it make very good prints. As a matter of fact the damper on the image is printed with filaflex and the damper on the machine.</p><p>As far as parameters are concerned for filaflex: 30-35% infill, 235ºC, print speed 60 movemente 150, retraction: 40mm/s, 4mm raise, 0.2mm layer hight works very nicely on my end.</p><p>Over the next few days I will be putting additional dampers on the motors. I'll let you know.</p>

Did you notice any impact on the quality of the part with and without? That would be interesting... Actually, having an heavy mass (the frame) "hanging" is not necessary a good thing vibration-wise as it acts as a pendulum and could amplify some of the vibrations.
Any recommended parameters for the infill percentage?
Simple but good job anyway. Thanks!

Yes I currently have it hanging, it would be interesting to have a dumper there too but no necessary as the prints are turning out very nicely.

I think the aluminium frame does also touch the ground. Wouldn't it good to have a dampening element here as well?
