Replacement feet for IKEA Glostad Footstool

Background

The IKEA Glostad Footstool (aka Ottoman, Hocker) is in our experience a cheap, nice footstool that can be paired easily with other sofas. Issue is, by default it only comes with mounting gear that works with the IKEA Glostad couch, and none of our couches can mount to these. This means that it moves around more, meaning that the tiny plastic feet it comes with easily get worn off and fall down. Then you're left with a bare metal feet which tends to scratch up the floor.

Slicing/Printing/Assembly

Additional parts

While you could use it on its own, I cannot promise that it'd not scratch up your floors.

So, I'd suggest having:

• Sponge or rubber feet to stick at the bottom that's roughly the correct size. I used sponge feet from this set that I already had lying around, but any that you think should work should work.
• Super glue, so that rubber/sponge feet, and so that you can stick two parts together well when if you're printing with the part cut in half. You don't strictly need this as it should hold in any case. It can also be useful for putting the sponge or rubber feet on there though.

Slicing

• (A .3mf with the suggested changes is included.)
• I printed sideways for additional strength for lateral movement, with the part sliced in half in the slicer to need less supports.
• I added paint-on fuzzy-skin on the bottom so that it can more easily stick to the rubber or sponge feet you can add to them.

Printing

• I personally picked PETG as IME it is more flexible (can bend more before shattering) than PLA and ABS. You could use others too probably, I just felt like PETG. 1/8 actually ended up being PLA as one of the ones I was printing on the MK4S failed, and I printed one on our MK3.5 alongside it with PLA loaded up to it.
• I printed with 0.20mm layer height on a MK4S and MK3.5.
• I enabled supports (firm, though organic should also work, I didn't use it as it was slower).
• I tried to avoid grainy built plates so that it doesn't cause issues with fitment, but the 1/8 that had it did not seem to have issues, so, yolo?

Assembly

• I removed the supports. This was kind of annoying, but it was a nice stim during a nice 3am chat at the hackerspace.
• I made sure that the two halves fit into the leg just fine.
• Then I removed them again, and put a safe amount of super glue on one half, then carefully stuck it to the other side so that they stick together.
• I also added a drop of super glue on the top and stuck the rubber feet on there firmly. They do have their own adhesive, but I didn't want to trust the weak adhesive on them.
• I installed them onto the Glostad Footstool.
