I've only found hard plastic glides for these chairs. They tend to quickly split and go missing.
I've made this in TPU to flex over the frame and seems to have enough memory to hold snug - it also provides a bit better floor grip in our situation with TPU so less unwanted sliding.
Four per chair. I have the original Bertoia with powder coat frame. Suggest if not powder coat, test with one and scale if required for a snug fit. [Mine measure 11.4mm dia.]
My TPU settings for reference: I print on the PEI sheet with tape - Beware otherwise TPU sticks!
0.2mm, 25% infill, I bump up first layer to 0.4 (tape). Extrusion multiplier 1.1 (loosen off the filament load tension screw), nozzle 230C, bed 50C, no fan for first 4 layers, max fan 80%
first layer I generally use 15mm/sec. [.3mf file included]
