Another win for 3D printing

At the Jaycar BBQ when we went to put up the club gazebo, the plastic feet that go on the bottom of the posts were broken.
So I put aside the broken bits to someday 3D print repacements. Those broken bits came to the surface recently and I decided I better 3D print some
new ones before I forget completely and lose the bits I need to measure. Here is the FreeCad drawing. STL file attached if anyone wants to print their own.

The broken parts look like they have been previously repaired?

The replacement parts are printed in PETG ( PolyEthlyeneTetraPthalate - Glycol modified ) UV resistant similar to the PET used in making Coke Bottles

Absolutely! 3D printing is a game-changer for repairs—custom brackets, replacement knobs, even missing parts for appliances
