Description

Design

Materials - This design requires three 24" long 1¼" dowel rods. I purchased these from The Home Depot and cut them in half, so I was able to make two stools with three of them. They are toleranced to the ones I bought, but they are not press-fit. If you try to use a different brand and it doesn't go in, let me know and I'll make another print profile for that brand.
Strength - It is held together with gravity and pressure. When the step is pressed down, it tightens the entire stool. This is an age-old design that I brought to the the 3d-printer.

Note: I ran out of white filament just before I finished the print, so that's why the bottom of the step is tan-colored.

Assembly

Turn the top upside down
Set the step on top of it upside down
Put the legs into the holes
Turn the whole thing right-side-up
Press the step down until the stool is firm

Note about me: I would love to pursue design full-time to keep creating awesome things. If you like my work, please consider boosting me or buying me a coffee. Thanks so much for joining me on this awesome journey!

This is the most sturdy (and practical) printable stool I have seen on here. It's very easy to assemble and take apart to store. Only having 2 printed parts keeps things simple. The base serves as a good foot rest when sitting on it. I printed 2 of these in PETG with a .8MM nozzle. if you use a larger nozzle like I did I recommend adding an extra layer to the top (bottom of the stool as it's printed upside down) in the slicer to cover the infill pattern.

printing this now. I'm going to use PETG with an .8mm nozzle on my A1. I'll post the profile when it's complete. I also plan on modeling some feet for it that includes a tpu pad for anti-skidd on smooth floors.
