A friend of mine just moved and is pulling stuff out of storage into her new home. One of her Ikea tables was missing a foot, and she was really bummed about it. So, I took a table leg, and one of the three remaining feet home with me. I do not know the year/model/etc of the Ikea table as it's been in storage for some time, but some Googling leads me to believe it's for an older Ikea Adlis table leg--their more recent/modern legs look like they have a different foot.&nbsp;After about an hour with calipers and Fusion 360, I was able to create a replacement! The internals aren't 100% the same, but are dimensionally accurate, and the only visible bit is identical.&nbsp;It fit like a glove! So satisfying!

<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jArIfws3gts"></oembed></figure>I designed this toy for my 3 year old to play with so it is intended to be robust enough to survive rough play, and the bucket is slightly oversized for more fun. There’s also an accompanying <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/58279" rel="nofollow noopener">dump truck model</a>.&nbsp;Please let me know if any parts break and leave feedback on anything that could be improved upon in the design.&nbsp;The final model is roughly 80 mm wide and everything is assembled with snaps (no glue or fasteners). The only tool required is a coin to tighten the body and tracks together. And there is a hollow pocket for some old AA batteries to add a bit of weight to the body. These are purely optional.&nbsp;Most moving parts are designed with 0.2 mm clearances which work fine on the Bambu X1C but might fuse on other printers. If any joints are frozen or too tight to assemble, try setting <a target="_blank" href="https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/xy-hole-contour-compensation" rel="nofollow noopener">XY Contour Compensation </a>to -0.05 mm. The tracks are offered in two variants, 0.15 mm clearance and 0.2 mm clearance in the raw files. My print came out nicely with 0.15 mm clearance track, but I understand this is not possible on all printers. The tracks show the build-plate side, so they will look a bit nicer if printed on a textured plate.&nbsp;<h3>Build Notes</h3>Be careful to install the H-link build plate face out. It’s a common mistake.&nbsp;When loosening joints for the first time, grab or pry as close to the pivot as possible. If a joint is a little bit stiff, it’s pretty easy to snap a piston by pushing on the end.&nbsp;<h3>History</h3>2024-03-30: Added some extra brim to boom cylinders to help with adhesion.2023-12-04: Minor updates to boom to reduce stuck or broken parts and improve bed adhesion.2023-10-13: Several minor design fixes to make parts more robust. I&#39;ve also included half-length track stls for smaller build plates. You need 4 of these per model. And I&#39;ve included a step file of the assembled excavator so that you can preview different colour pallet ideas. And lastly, there is now a single plate profile that crams the whole thing onto one plate if you&#39;re feeling confident and don&#39;t care about colours.
