Ultra lightweight Folding Chair

This simple foldable chair that I designed is super strong and lightweight. It is great for camping, backpacking, or any other sort of activity. It takes only 475 grams of filament, it has been tested to 235 lbs (107 kg) and easily handled it. It could likely hold up to 500 lbs (227 kg) and maybe even more with the right settings and filament. It prints easily in two plates, and around 11 hours of printing. The main seat and back print in place, and the legs can be attached by flexing the rear leg into place, and screwing the front leg on. This model is designed to fit on most printers, but if you want it to be larger or smaller, it can be scaled up or down to your desired size.

 

For print settings:

• No support
• 4 walls for the main seat and back
• 10 walls for the legs
• 15 walls (100% infill for the front leg screws)
• 7% cubic infill for the main seat and back
• 10% cubic infill for the legs

I printed this in petg HF, but Pla would likely also work, along with nearly any other material.
