Companion Table Leg Lock
A broken table leg lock shouldn't sideline otherwise good Companion equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Folding leg locks wear and tables collapse. The factory part is made from plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
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.
