These are the parts needed to recycle Ikea Malm overbed table legs. https://www.google.com/search?q=ikea+malm+overbed+table
We bought it and, after a while, repurposed the table as a shelf and were left with two legs/supports. Now with the covid-19 scare, our company has us working from home and I used a dining table extension and the legs to create a makeshift table for a temporary home office.
You need to remove the wheels and keep the 8 screws - they are used to fix the legs to the mounts. You need to print 4 of each of the STL parts and assemble them as shown in the pictures.\
You will also need to file notches in the openings where the wheels were, to let the mounts sink into the openings.
It turns out that the mounting is not very stable, it wobbles slightly side to side. In other times I would have remodeled the mounts to stabilise the table, but I had some Ikea Malm cross-braces lying around and stabilised the table with them.
I am also including the OpenSCAD model. You may want to check the Bracket screw dimensions values for the screw that you'll be using to fix the brackets to the table.
For the brackets I used transparent PETG, for the mounts red transparent PLA (both of which I had lying around).
