A lightweight, foldable, and surprisingly sturdy 3D printed stool designed for makers on the go. This compact seat prints in just two standard build plates, assembles easily without hardware, and folds down for simple storage and carry.
Perfect for quick breaks in the workshop, backyard gardening, camping or fishing adventures. The design is modular—mix and match parts in different colors for a fun custom look. This little guy was born out of necessity—I needed a seat I could quickly stash in the trunk and bring along when fishing. So I designed something that prints in just two plates, snaps together without screws or glue, folds down when not in use and can be attached to my backpack with a carabiner.
Tested to support up to 150 lbs with standard PLA and basic infill. Want more strength? Increase the infill density or swap the printed pegs with wood or metal for an extra durability boost. Pegs print best flat for added sturdiness.
