Furniture Anti-Slide Mechanism (FASM)

thingiverse

These practical gadgets will keep your sofa, couch, loveseat or other piece of furniture firmly in place on a laminate, wood or tile floor. I tested other commercially available products and they failed for one reason or another. How They Work: Our sofas and loveseats have round "feet" at the bottom. This gadget cups the foot so it can't slide backward or side to side (just like a teenager flopping down on the couch). You can still easily pull the sofa/loveseat forward to remove from the FASM for cleaning underneath. Instructions: 1) Your furniture must have feet for this to work (Check out the picture of the device installed). 2) Measure the diameter of your feet. The opening on this design is 31mm. Check the diameter of your feet and resize if needed. 3) Print a test FASM and ensure it fits the feet of your furniture and under the frame. Adjust sizing if needed. 4) Print two FASM's for each piece of furniture you want to anchor. 5) Cut and attach double-sided Gorilla (or other quality brand) tape as shown in the picture. 6) Clean the floor where you plan to place the FASM's with rubbing alcohol or sanitation wipes. 7) Position the furniture where you want it to be anchored, making sure the floor under the back feet is clean. 8) Remove the second side of the Gorilla tape. Place it next to the furniture and have someone slightly lift the furniture while attaching the FASM to the floor, with the opening facing the front of the furniture. Repeat on the other side of the furniture. 9) Once the FASM's are in place, gently slide the furniture forward so they're exposed. 10) Step on the FASM's to securely anchor them to the floor. 11) Slide the furniture back into the FASM's and enjoy no more magic carpet rides on your sofa.
