I designed these to replace the metal stud like mounts that come from factory on the Elf. The metal mounts transfer and amplify any stepper noise through the top metal plate of the printer. This is a lot more noticeable at higher speeds or with LDO steppers. These new mounts dampen the stepper noise by separating the motors and plate with plastic.

The mounts are 2 pieces. You will need 14 M3x10 screws to install them. I also replaced the top 8 factory screws with longer ones to get more bite into the plastic but that is optional. Use 4 screws to attach the lower mounts to the steppers, then 3 screws to attach the upper mount to the lower mount. Install the motor to the top printer plate with the factory screws. The right upper plate has a cut-out for the Y end-stop so don't mix them up.

Print the lower mounts with no supports and the uppers with supports from build plate only.
