Is your chair missing feet? I'd like to fix it for free.

Announcement:

New service: 3D printed replacement chair feet: bring me your broken or missing chair feet!

If you have a chair that needs replacement feet, drop me a line, perhaps I can help you keep your chair out of the landfill.

Background: 

For the past two years, I have made and sold 3D printed replacement feet for the IKEA Gilbert chair. It has been a fun side project that allows me to prevent broken chairs from going into the trash heap.

Discussion:

I was recently contacted by a lovely person named Joy who saw that I sold chair feet for the IKEA Gilbert chair, and wondered if I could make replacement feet for her chairs, too?

My answer was yes, if your chair feet are easily 3D printable.

Which made me realize that perhaps I should actively look for additional chair feet that can be 3D printed, to expand my offerings.

So, if you have a chair with missing feet and I don't already make those chair feet, let me see if I can help!

Just like I did with the IKEA Gilbert chair feet, I'll both release the files so anyone with a 3D printer can make their own, and I'll sell feet so people who don't have access to a 3D printer can keep their chairs from becoming landfill.

Details of the deal:

1. You contact me here.
2. I'll get back to you via email and ask you to send me photos of your chair's feet, and some rough dimensions.
3. If I think they'll work, I'll ask you to ship me one of your chair feet (or more, if your chair feet aren't all the same for some reason).
4. After a week or so, I'll return your chair foot, plus the 3D printed feet you need (for free).
5. I'll then post the files online (with the creative commons attribution, non commercial license) so anyone can make their own chair feet.
6. I'll sell the feet on the replacementfeet.simpleswitchlabs.com website.
