The problem

The caravan had no feet to allow use on softer ground, so these were designed to offer a novel solution to the problem.

Design & CAD

I came across this design concept on Printables (which itself credits a Thingiverse author), but the original didn't fit my particular corner steadies, so I redesigned it in Fusion 360 and added some extra features.

Build notes

The feet are printed in PETG, 4 perimeters and 40% infill — no post-processing required.

The bushes are printed in eSUN TPE flexible filament, 4 perimeters and 100% infill. Three bush sizes are provided since I found the caravan's steadies varied slightly in width due to manufacturing tolerances — print a few of each and test-fit as you go.
