I designed a 3D printable piece to serve as a replacement for a broken joint in a Sponeta ping-pong table. The table features four joints of this type, with two being right-side joints and the other two being left-side joints. The replacement joint was meticulously crafted to match the dimensions and functionality of the original part, ensuring it fits perfectly and restores the table's structural integrity. This solution provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to purchasing a new joint or an entire new table, prolonging the table's usability and maintaining its performance.
I have created two .stl files each named in respect to the installation side (left or right). I have used 30% infill density and wall line count of three. I used eSun PLA+ material and so far it looks sturdy. The files I'm sharing have a vertical orientation with default support. However, I myself used Tree support with 45 degrees orientation towards the long side with no web support. The part is almost identical to the original part but, I have added some fillets inside contour wall to give more strength.
