CHALLENGE & IDEA
The couch legs unfortunately leave just enough space for an incredible amount of dirt (especially if you own a dog or other hair-shedding pets) to accumulate, but at the same time not enough room for the robot vacuum cleaner (in my case a Roborock S7) to get under the couch. The replacement legs solve this problem.
The height of the replacement legs is 100 mm. If you need a different height, don't hesitate to contact me!
PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
I printed it with PETG on the open side without support material.
Further settings:
- 20% Infill
- 0.4mm Nozzle
- 0.2mm Layer hight
- 7 Perimeters
- 9 Bottom Layers
- 9 Top Layers
Print Time on Prusa MK3s about 14 hours - each piece.
MATERIALS
- M8 Threaded rod (110mm for the 100mm leg-Version)
- IKEA Ektorp to mount the Replacement Legs & relaxed time on the sofa
- A whirlwind pooch (Frankie ❤) that leaves piles of hair and assortments of dirt under your Ektorp
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Print that wonderful leg
- Measure your M8 Threaded rod and cut (110mm)
- Clean the Threaded rod (oil & silicone!)
- Add a tiny quantity of glue (like UHU Instant Adhesive) to the screw's thread
- Screw the threaded rod into your foot until it stops. Be careful, the threading is quite strong, don't damage your bottom layer - only turn until the stop.
- Wait! Relax! Allow time for the glue to harden
- Now screw your first foot under the couch - does everything fit? Then print the additional feet!
- Install the remaining feet.
- Make some photos of your print and post them on Printables! ❤ Thanks!
- Lay back on the couch, fire up your robot vacuum cleaner, and watch the little hero go to work! 🎉
