I love my Ikea matchspel office/gaming chair, but the hard arm rests drive me mad.

I wanted soft arm rests for my Ikea Matchspel office/gaming chairl.
The 3d-files is a base plate that you attach a wooden plate on. I did not have any exotic 3d print material that accepted me tacking on it for the upholstery.
There is an STL file to help you get the wooden plate right. Print without scaling, and draw an outline as in the illustration. The holes where the screw go are also on the STL if you want to mark them on the wood.
On this wooden plate you put some foam. 2-3cm thick, not the softest.
Then you tack a cloth around it like upholsterers do.
Feel free to use a cloth that looks less tacky. Also feel free to use a more elegant upholstery technique.
I used a router to round the edges of the wooden plate. I recommend 5-6mm radius top side, and 3mm radius bottom side. This determines if you feel a hard edge if you lean on the side of the arm rest.
