Update: 24 Feb 2019 I've been redoing all my old SketchUp designs in Fusion 360 and adding them here.
We have an old Black & Decker Workmate 85 folding work stand that we use to hold our compound miter saw. The original rubber feet degraded or fell off long ago, so we have to make sure we put a couple towels under it so it doesn't mark up our pine floors.
Once I got the 3D printer, one of the first things I wanted to do was print up feet for it. Took some measurements and roughed it up, printed off a lightweight prototype with minimal infill, and it worked! Printed it up four feet thicker with heavier infill and they work like a champ.
Friends at work ask "couldn't you just have gone to the Home Depot and gotten new feet?" but that kinda misses the point, I think. I'm still proud of making an actual useful thing, even if it is this trivial. :D
