IKEA EKTORP Replacement Leg

thingiverse

Update 2018-12-25: Well it's been four months now and this leg is still holding up just fine. Thought I would add an update, as I completely forgot I had even printed a new leg for this sofa, it's held up that long. By now I expect it to outlive the sofa. Our EKTORP sofa suffered a broken leg at the hands of a moving company. With PETG on hand though I was able to model and print a replacement far faster than a trip to IKEA or a second hand parts retailer. And also only cost filament. I'd recommend printing at a fairly thick layer height. I used a 0.8mm nozzle to print .4mm layers on this part. I would not reduce the infill below 80% density on this part. Mine was printed solid and has held up fantastically to a number of sofa-flops. It may even be stronger than the much thinner profile legs the sofa comes with. Let me know in the comments if anyone wants an extended version and how much it should be extended!
