Was shocked to see just how broken my couch was when we took it apart. This part which is installed is replacing the cracked wood which was held in with just staples.

There’s now 3-5 screws

    I’ve seen people print some impressive parts, but this is the first time I’ve seen a replacement for a block of wood.

      A block of wood with 2 holes. (don’t have the wood working tools needed to properly fabricate a new one)

      I’ve printed things that function as a block of wood with holes a number of times because believe it or not, it’s sometimes easier. If I don’t have the right scrap wood on hand, and the proper saw to cut it, sometimes printing is easier and safer. (For something like this where others may also need a replacement for an existing item, there’s the extra bonus of sharing the model for others to benefit from.)
