Height adjustable feet for IKEA LACK table

I was not satisfied with my first design of the height-adjustable feet (model:182488). Technically they work fine, but optically it looks strange.

I also wanted to put the table on wheels, which wasn't possible with the existing feet. New feet had to be added. They should have a square base to which one can attach wheels, but still be height adjustable. This is how the current model came into being.

As with my version 2 of the first design, the legs must be completely hollowed out at the bottom. This is in most cases relatively simple, but sometimes there is a more stable version of a block at the leg end, which then requires a little more work.

Common Printer Settings:

Material: PLA

Resolution: 0.2mm

Wall thickness: 1.2mm

Infill: 20%-50%

Flange

This part is inserted into the table legs. If you like, you can glue them in, but I didn't do that.

Additional parts:

none

Printer Settings:

Infill: 30%

Support: yes

Adhesion: Skirt

HolderPlate

This plate secures the adjusting wheel to the flange. I used self-tapping screws for screwing, because they hold well in the plastic and are easier to use than screws and nuts.

Additional parts:

4 x sheet metal screw 2.9 x 9.5 or 2.9 x 13

Printer Settings:

Infill: 20-30%

Support: no

Adhesion: none

Slider and Wheel

These two elements form the actual height adjustment. Here I used a metric fine thread M36 x 3. This looks a lot better than my first edition of the height-adjustable feet.

The tolerances are relatively tight, but at the end there is an almost play-free fit. The first screwing together requires a certain amount of force until the unevenness of the printing has rubbed off each other. This is especially the case with a resolution of 0.2mm. A resolution of 0.1mm would be possible, but takes a very long time to print.

Finally, I screwed wheels with a hole distance of 29mm to the slider. But you can also do without it, but to protect a wooden floor you should glue felt pieces on it.

Additional parts (only with additional wheels):

4 x sheet metal screw 2.9 x 9.5 or 2.9 x 13

Printer Settings:

Infill: 30-50%

Support: no

Adhesion: Skirt
