Gasmate Table Leg Lock
We keep getting asked about this one — the table leg lock is one of those Gasmate parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

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
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
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.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
