Foot for Maxx Bathtub

thingiverse

I'm reworking my master bathroom right now. The freestanding tub from Maxx, based out of Canada, comes with four bolt heads that serve as its feet. Since this tub is going on a ceramic floor, I need to figure out how to handle its substantial weight, which would put excessive pressure on those tiny bolt heads. That's why I've created a custom foot that measures 1.75 inches in diameter at the tile side, where it'll sit firmly on the ground, and 4 9/16 inches for the bolt head that fits snugly on top. I also made an additional design change by adding a 0.0625 inch inset on the tile side of this foot, allowing me to place a stick-on felt pad right next to it. This soft, 1.5-inch thick layer will come into contact with the tile as the foot is slid into place and will provide some extra cushioning against the weight's impact. To ensure that my creation can support such heavy loads, I set my object infill to a moderate 50%, so there would be sufficient PLA material to absorb and redistribute the stress without collapsing or losing its shape when subjected to considerable pressure.
