Description

Like seemingly everyone else who ever bought an IKEA Markus chair, I found the armrests too tall to fit under my desk. 

Since I felt like I also didn't need armrests(corner desk), I decided to go with simple handles instead. And since I am a big dude and I like putting my weight on my hands while I change seating posture, I wanted handles sturdy and comfortable enough to accomplish that.

 

Print settings:

Layer height: ~0.2

Infill: ~25%

Perimeters: ~3-4 (@0.4mm nozzle)

Top and bottom layers: ~7

Support: Only needed for the bolt holes, suppress it everywhere else.

Brim: Can probably print them without, but probably a good idea to use them since bed adhesion surface is not very large.

 

Installation: 

Use the included bolts for the original armrests. If using brims, put the printbed side inwards to hide any slight defects from cutting/sanding. Make sure the holes in the cloth lines up with the threaded tabs before mounting the handles.
