My boy scored a nice shot today, and when I sat back down, I went falling through the back of my folding travel chair. I can't imagine anyone would be able to sell me the part to fix it, so turned to OpenSCAD and made my own. So far it seems to work fine. I'll take it to the game next week and we'll see how it holds up. :) If you have a folding travel chair that uses this type of bracket to hold the back support in place, then this parametric part might be just what you need to save it from the city dump. Ours are Greatland brand "Captain's Chair" that we picked up from Walmart maybe 7-8 years ago, and that's what the STL fits. But this is parametric, so you tweak the sizes if you want to fit other chairs that mount the same way... or use it for some other creative purpose. 1) Modify the 10 parameters if necessary to suit your needs. The STL is for the specific chair mentioned above, but it's pretty flexible. 2) Print it. 3) Remove the broken one, and sew this one on with upholstery thread. 4) Sit back and enjoy the game. The parameters are as follows: shaftDiameter: Diameter of the metal shaft that supports the back insertionLength: Depth the shaft should be inserted into this thing screwDistance: Distance from the end of shaft where the mounting screw is located screwDiameter: The diameter of the clearance hole for the mounting screw baseThickness: The thickness of the base, where it's sewn onto the chair thickness: The thickness of the material surrounding the shaft borderWidth: The width of the border tabs, which are used to attach it to the chair sewHolesSide: The number of sewing holes to place along each side sewHolesTop: The number of sewing holes to place along the top sewHoleDiameter: The diameter of the sewing holes. $fn: General circle quality
