Backpacking chair replacement parts

thingiverse

These are replacement parts for the bungee cord end cap and feet for a folding camping / hiking chair. The endcap holds the bungee cord in and protects the fabric of the chair from the metal rod. Especially in the cheaper versions of this chair, the endcap is too soft and thin and the rod cuts through it and then cuts into the fabric of the chair. 3d printed plastic tends to be harder than the original part's plastic and I have made the lip of the cap thicker. For some chairs, the original endcaps are not quite sized properly for the metal tubes and get caught and pulled out when the chair seat is removed. The feet that come with these chairs work well on cement and hard packed ground, but quickly sink into sand and mud and may actually get stuck and stay behind when you lift out the chair. These wider feet distribute the load over a larger area (like snow shoes) and don't sink into the ground.
