After hours of scouring the internet without any luck finding the replacement piece for my armrest, I finally threw in the towel. Frustrated but determined, I opened a long-forgotten, dusty folder on my computer labeled "Blender." With no hesitation, I grabbed my mouse, adjusted my keyboard, and got to work recreating the part from scratch.

Next step? Digging my old 3D printer out of the basement. It had been sitting down there, quietly collecting dust, probably thinking it was enjoying early retirement. But today, I was bringing it back to life for one last mission. With a satisfying hum, it powered on, ready to take on the task.

As the print took shape layer by layer, I was already feeling hopeful. And when it finally finished, I was amazed—the piece fit like a glove. The part that slots into the spring came out just slightly larger than planned, but it snuggled into place so perfectly that it wasn’t going anywhere without its matching counterpart. Not a chance this thing would go flying loose!

There’s nothing quite like bringing a piece back from the brink, especially when it's a DIY fix made from scratch.

Feel free to download the blender file and fix some minor issues with the model if you like, just make sure to share that file with the community!
