One of the leg braces (the part that lets you adjust the length of an individual leg) broke on my Orion Skyview telescope stand, so I reverse-engineered a replacement part.
I wanted it as strong as possible, so I printed in ABS with 100% infill. It should print without supports, but to be safe I printed with a support just for the overhang on the square nut cutout.
You will also need to supply:
a) a square M8 nut
b) a matching M8 bolt with a hex head
c) screws to attach the permanently-fixed side to the aluminum leg part (I used metric m3 screws, but only because I was able to tap out some threads in place of the rivets that attached the original. You may be able to get away with just a drilled hole and some sheet metal screws)
