Overture PLA, .4 nozzle at .08 layer height. Swapped filament at layer 110, mostly because my white filament gets caught on the spool and needs more babysitting to make sure a long print works.

My backplate has a slightly different shape opening for the wires. It could be because I have the ecobee3 lite, or it's just going to be a very strong pressure fit. I'm planning to modify the back to make it easier to remove later anyways, so I'm not concerned about it.

Visible in the bottom right corner of the door. Fit was not great, I had to wrap tape around the post for my specific fridge, however I could have re-printed and scaled up.

Perfect - this is a nice solution. I printed a couple of pairs in ABS and they've rejuvenated the tension mechanism on my recliner. Since I don't have any liquid tape I tried them without, and the friction seems fine. I'm considering trying some TPU though, just to see how that works - I imagine it'll be naturally more grippy, but the supports will be harder to clean up.

UPDATE: TPU works well. It's naturally a lot more grippy, so the tension knob is easier to tighten. (edited)

@Chris_Hill Glad it is helping! I also deigned a stool support in about a minute like the one you made.. I never thought of sharing that one, so I am thrilled that you did share it and other Ekornes pieces!

@hwmonkey_125898 Further update: TPU turned out to be a bit TOO grippy - even when the knob was slackened off the reclining motion was no longer smooth - it was a bit jerky. So I now have a hybrid setup - ABS for the inner pad on each side of the chair and TPU for the outer pad. Now it's just right - smooth but easy to tighten.

After about one year, I had to reprint mine. I am using PETG, so consider using ABS.

Easy to make, but sadly it's causing leaking in my tower all over my floor. :(.

They fit good, but they cause water to drop on the back an run out off the tower on the floor.
