First prototypes. After modeling the part in Solidworks I 3D printed it to test fit and function. Next I cast the part out of zinc to test its ability to reduce vibration of the blender. The final part was a first article from a vendor.

Initial cast design was changed to stacked and welded steel for cost savings.

Final assembly. 85% reduction in vibration and sound output cut by 8 dB.
