When you acquire old wagons you regularly end up with missing couplers, so why not print them? Well, the models I found just didn't work, so I combined what worked, with a few small improvements myself.

This style of plastic pin mount (with legs as centering springs) is still in use on modern Märklin models from the startup line (and before that hobby line), but can be traced into the 80s with them used even on Bogies for Passenger wagons.

The model is dead easy to print, just print it laying on the Bed.

Boogie Special Variant

This varient is for a specific Boogie on one of my TEE Wagons.

It didn't have the small pins to hold the spring legs of the housing, so it got no legs and has a longer rear part to keep it vaguely straight.

Most users should use NOT use this vairent, and use the standard NewAndImproved, as most boogies have the pins for the leg springs.
