Vivitar 950 leg adjuster

These are spare parts for broken Vivitar mod 950 Tripod. The parts I've named "leg adjuster" are the ones that can adjust the height of the tripod. As the legs are telescopic, there are 2 types of adjusters assembled into each leg. Each one has a lever that hods into place according to the desirable height.

Mine broken in the ribs where a pin that is into the lever and serve as pivot.

Notes:

I used ABS but could be PETG from your choice; be advised that this type of tripod is used outdoors, exposed to sun and then PLA could not be good.
Use supports only for the first two ribs. Not necessary for the other overhang areas. Use support blocker to avoid other areas (see image).

Position of the part on the table as shows in the photo.

The STL's have been made with the measures of the original parts but with some extra wall near to the hole where the original easily brake.

For ABS that I used was necessary to increase 2% into shrinkage compensation (CURA) in order to have the holes without necessity of adjust when assembling.

When disassemble de upper adjuster (bigger part which has an articulated arm) the product has rivets, so we have to destroy it to disassemble de old part. I left the hole with less diameter in order to use an screw M3 or 1/8" thread in place of the rivet. If you need to use rivet must redrill the hole with 3mm or 1/8" drill bit.
