This is a reverse-engineered copy of the leg catch on my Black & Decker Workmate; it was a tricky one to draw!

My Workmate has no identity markings but I bought it new in 1981/1982, and from recent research, I believe it to be a WM625 E07Z.  I understand that the WM550 WM625 WM626 and WM700 share the same catch but I can't guarantee that.

I printed it in PETG, on its side with supports “everywhere”.  The supports pulled away easily.

I assumed I would take me a couple of prints to get the design just right so I set out to print a prototype with only 4-perimeters and 15% infill.  It however fitted perfectly and works really nicely so have printed no more.  Time will tell if I need to go to a stronger print and/or a better material.  I'll report here if I need to do so.
