Helinox Chair Zero 3D printed feets

That’s cool! It’s always fun to design things that solve a problem. Or even just for the fun of making it. Glad to see it works. I don’t have a chair but could see this solving a lot of problems!

I have a second ultralight version must be printed with flexible material, I use TPU 95A, weights around 10g/foot

First test went great. And it fits the original bag with feet mounted.

Very nice! Thank you also for mentioning about broken legs - I'll have to be careful. Do you have any opinions of these feet vs the ground-cloth style that some folks use? I'm kind of undecided. Snow, sand, and lastly just soft uneven ground.

I finally went with 3rd iteration where I removed original feet completely and substitute them with my version of TPU feet. This way it is definitely better than the original with no weight penalty. Tested on loose ground in the woods and I’m happy with the stability.I wouldn’t be scared of compact snow but on loose dry sand like on the beach ground cloth provides more stability for sure.
