Artillery Sidewinder X1 - Silicone dampers form for the heatbed

A form to create four silicone dampers for the stock Sidewinder heatbed.

The size of the dampers is 20mm height and 23mm diameter.

M5 screws are needed as "placeholders" and to connect the two parts together, but...

...Unfortunately, something was not so perfect in my FreeCad design and the included M5 treads on all six holes are too tight.

It was not easy on this design to change this after without loosing much of the work, so I decided to cut / make bigger the threads for M5 manually; you have to do the same probably too, sorry :-(

A good addition to the dampers here are these smal parts, helping you to center the screws of the bed into the holes of the holder:
