If you can find it in your DIY heart for a tip for these, it would make my day. I did a lot of tweaking to get these parts tip top.
These parts have a thicker baser and and thicker dimensions to hold up to the stress. I recommend at least PETG filament with 6 perimeters, if not solid. You can print them in PLA, but the outdoors will degrade them. But since you can always print more... eh. Depending on your printer you may want to use supports on the Mid Right and Mid Left parts. I didn't need them printing on a Prusa MK3s.
For a full chair replacement parts, print the following amounts:
2 mid back
4 foot
1 mid left
1 mid right
Extras:
Use 4mm screws, washers with nylon nuts for mounting. Stainless works best to stand up to the weather
Improvements:
v2
thicker base on all parts
thicker cross bracing
raised base in hole so back rods are supported
thicker base where front cross rods are supported
gussets and at all right angle connections
labeled each part for placement
v1
first try. worked well. needed some tweaks.
Unassociated tags: folding chair, lawn chair

You can use any type of material you want, but if you use PLA, expect to be replacing them a lot sooner than ABS or PETG. Unless, you use your chair indoors.
