Replacement Risers

lmzrsk over 4 years ago

I’m resetting up my Index and I want to put it in the bedroom. Problem: carpeting, and I can’t find the risers.

any suggestions on how to get replacement risers, or some other method.

Any input appreciated.

thanks

Do you have access to a 3D printer as they wouldn't be too difficult to make?

Any news on this? I’ve recently lost one which I would like to replace.

thanks.

I've just created the STL file required to 3D print these

If you cannot find anyone to print it for you then PM me and I'll print and send a set

My S1 developed the 6.7lb issue and so I retired it. Garmin was great and let me use it as a trade-in toward the S2, which works well. So, my need for the risers is gone, and I thank you and everyone for their help.

A fellow on Reddit suggested that I go to the Home Depot and buy a 12x12 inch tile remnant, drop it on the carpet and then the scale. He says, in his case, it worked well. Cost: $1.50. So here is an very elegant solution, but a quick and practical on.

Thanks Again

Hey mate. Thanks for creating that file. Are you able to make these? I’m missing one (no idea how) and don’t have access to a 3D printer. Also live in the UK.

more than happy to buy coffees and pay postage.

Hi,

Yes I am happy to make and send, not sure how best to communicate though as I don't exchange personal information on a public forum and I can't see a way to PM

Has there been any official word on this from the manufacturer? I lost two of the legs while moving. Trying to figure out where to get new ones.

This is fantastic. Thanks for creating and sharing. I find I'm in need of these risers and I will try to hit up a buddy of mine who has a 3d printer.

In my search I also found something similar: https://www.printables.com/model/117594-carpet-feet-for-garmin-index

I do not have any knowledge on 3D printing so I thought I'd share it here for people who are aware of such things.
