OZtrail Table Leg Lock
OZtrail made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the table leg lock is a regular on our bench. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Folding leg locks wear and tables collapse. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
