What it’s for

Small hardware for furniture and the home: knobs and pulls for drawers and doors, with the standard hole spacing to replace the ones you already have; leg caps that protect the feet of chairs and tables; wedges to hold doors open and corner guards to cover sharp corners. Knobs and pulls are fixed with a heat-set threaded insert, an embedded nut or a self-tapping screw.

Ideas

  • Renew the knobs or pulls of a dresser, a closet or a kitchen.
  • Replace worn chair leg caps that scratch the floor.
  • Wedge with text so the door doesn’t slam shut in the wind.
  • Protective corner guards for a coffee table, with kids in mind.

Step by step

  1. Choose a preset or the type of part in «Part».
  2. For knobs: choose shape, diameter, height, facets or grooves and an engraved letter if you want.
  3. For pulls: measure the distance between your furniture’s holes and choose it in «Hole spacing».
  4. For leg caps and corner guards: measure the leg or the board with calipers.
  5. In «Fastening» choose the screw and the method, and export.

Tips

  • Pull hole spacings are standard (multiples of 32 mm): measure center to center.
  • The heat-set threaded insert is the firmest: it’s set with the soldering iron and withstands pulling for years.
  • Print leg caps in TPU (flexible) if you want them to stay put and be quiet; in PLA, with felt underneath.
  • Furniture screws are usually M4; if your old pulls use another, take one to the hardware store.
