@MakeGood_Noam the assembled footrest is within the dimensions of a 256mm cubed printer, so I was curious why it was split apart. I sliced it in BS and got no errors for my P1S. Any insight?

Not a meaningful time savings over printing separately, but one less plate. those tall side supports should get changed to support just in the hole. i expect they are most of the 50 grams of support material and I’m sure they are adding time

I like it. Seem like it would be one less joint that could potentially be a failure point. It doesn’t need to be 2 parts for assembly or anything so this makes sense to me.

wow! somehow de didnt consider this. We do have a H2 version that prints laying flat. This does look like it works fine. Please post your results. With the v2 release we might include this.
For A1 bambu printers these tall prints can be a problem

Sounds great, will do.
I know Scott is also working on optimizing build plates, but I did a little reorganizing and distributed the connector parts to other plates. Between that and the footrest, I have the PETG parts on 19 plates and about 146 hours.

yes Scott is working some magic on the build plates. They way I originally set them up was for clarity so begineers could easy see the logic. It definitely could be optimized

Would it be possible to get the file for the full footrest? Or is it available somewhere?
I’m going to run one today to see if it works and can share the file this evening if so.

I added the combined footrest to the STEP files on google drive - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SWGVhE8vVnSjlYUqBqfx2tvtfqV0bMnw/view?usp=drive_link

I can’t believe i missed that you already had STEP files posted…I’ve been doing it all by exporting an STL from the 3MF then bringing that into Fusion

Single piece came out great

Thank you for adding this! I downloaded this file yesterday (2/4/2026) and it has 10 minutes left to print. I just noticed it said on the bottom: REV 05 TESTING ONLY. I do see it in a sliced file as well–should have checked it before hitting print lol. These are my questions:
-
Can these footrests be used in actual TMTs donated to families?
-
If Yes to question 1, any suggestions as to what to do with this one? It is a 14hr print, and this is the only “flaw”
.
On the other hand, it prints beautifully on an open printer, with Sunlu PETG, 0.6mm nozzle, 0.32mm layer height, no supports, 10mm brim

no worries about it saying for testing… you are testing it! as long as its strong as the other version** and looks good go ahead and donate it

Based on your response, I think it would be a huge mistake to donate it or advise anyone to do it in its current form.
- Unless recipient is informed that they are getting a prototype (which I believe it is, since it hasn’t been fully tested) and they find out, the maker would have to explain themselves and potentially be liable for any injuries occurring from this part’s failure. The fact that this phrase is very inconspicuously placed is not helpful in any of this.
2. “as long as its strong and looks good” just by looking at it sliced, its weaker than the original. Connectors and locking pins create additional walls in the center between mounting bolts; this provides additional rigidity and weight distribution, which is great since this is right where a child would step on. On the new version, there is only infill. People with engineering background, please chime in.
I will print the original version and perform a break test on both of them—Suggestions are welcome)
I just took my print, threaded bolts into the holes and placed the assembly up on blocks so none of the footrest was supported.
I weight about 215 and was able to stand on it, plus bounce up and down slightly with no cracking. It flexed, but I think that is fine.
This is an 0.6mm nozzle, 0.36mm layer height and 12% infill.
I think it is good to go but would be curious on others’ takes

I just started one printing so I will try and test it when its done. I think it will be stronger than the 2 piece one. Of the few parts I have broken on these chairs, all of them have been on the joint between 2 parts, not out in the middle. I think we are getting rid of a weak link not making it worse.
Thank you for posting this! I think you are right! I still think that this wording should be removed to avoid any misunderstandings

i modified my language. Understand your concern. let us know how your testing goes

My part printed great! I way 295lbs so I don’t believe I will test it the same way @mike93lx did 
But I see zero reasons why this won’t be plenty strong enough for what it is intended for.
