Herman Miller Embody - Arm Ratchet Spacer

thingiverse

A common problem with the Herman Miller Embody is that sometimes, the armrest can become loose due to the ratchet inside the arm slipping out. It's pretty frustrating for a $1000 chair! If you're not familiar with the fix, then I recommend watching this video by Core77. It's literally 3 screws and a whack to repair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i3Nq-d_w8o My issue was that this kept happening, so I came up with a simple solution. The space fits between the ratchet and the mechanics cover, stopping the ratchet from wobbling free over time. I've not had it fitting for a considerable amount of time yet, but so far, so good! I printed it in PLA, any color will do since it gets hidden inside the chair anyway.
