Haworth Zody 4D arm rest - tensioner replacement/upgrade

prusaprinters

If you own one of these chairs, you likely also noticed the adjustment on the arm rest is very light, making it pop out of your preferred position very easily while using the chair.I made some new tensioner parts that should help increasing the tension on the adjustments.They are simple drop in replacements. Try to find a video tutorial on how to disassemble the arm rest if you are unsure on how to do it, but it's a pretty straight forward process so you shouldn't need it.CAUTION: Be gentle while screwing down the screws, torquing them down will help getting tighter adjustments but it's very easy to strip the plastic threads, to which if you do, tension will be worse.You can find three different versions of each tensioner: Soft, Medium and HardThe soft version should resemble the original part, making it suitable for a simple replacement but also a very slight upgrade.Medium and hard are meant to give you more tension than the original part.
