Repair kit for Playmobil traffic light / Reparatursatz für Playmobil-Ampel

This is a spare foot for the Playmobil traffic light. As they are very thin and difficult to glue, I decided to design a spare foot. You may customize the OpenSCAD file to get a perfect press fit into your existing part. Repair steps: 1. I've sawed off the original foot with a small saw and then filed/rasped it to get a proper 90° cut on the original part. 2. Then measure with a caliper the inner diameter of the original part (after some grinding with a sharp knife). Adjust also the pressfit_oversize parameter (I think 0.15mm should do). 3. If the press-fit isn't strong enough after you printed it, just wrap around some tesa tape around the connector part. 4. plug/press it in. Follow these easy steps to get the STL file you want: 1. install openSCAD: https://www.openscad.org (it is free of charge) 2. open the scad file of this thing 3. adjust the parameters as you like (especially inner_diameter_original_part, etc.) 4. render the design by pressing F6 5. export to STL by pressing F7
