IKEA Friheten couch risers for Roomba

thingiverse

This was made to raise my IKEA Friheten couch high enough to allow my Roomba 960 to clean underneath it. If you own a robot vacuum you know how much of a dirt trap something can become if the vacuum cannot clean underneath. I made this back in 2016 and just realized that the current posted designs are awful. My design uses minimal material and extends the original legs. This was printed with PLA and has lasted 4 yrs and in great shape. PETG would be ideal but PLA is perfectly adequate indoors. There are risers for the slide out sleeper section to allow the vacuum to clean under that as well. There are some unpassable barriers along the border of the slide out section, but by and large the entire underside of the couch should be able to be cleaned. I used these M8x1.25, 35mm length threaded rod pieces to extend the threads of the original legs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M9D4CMO/ along with these M8x1.25, 30mm length threaded rod couplings (friction fits into the hexagonal part in the middle of leg extensions) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IZ16EO6/ If these links become broken, they should be readily available almost anywhere. The slide out section extensions uses 2.5 inch, #10 deck screws. Be sure to pre-drill the hole using a 0.150 inch drill unless you want to have a bad time. These should be able to be found anywhere wood screws are sold.
