2. LACK Table Feet
A 3D Printing trick just in case if you want to increase the length of your LACK table. It is adjustable and thus gives you the freedom to use the LACK table at the length you want to. Just make sure that you do not hold back on the amount of infill (do not go under 20%) since your table legs should be holding quite some weight.Once printed, nudge the O-rings and screw the table feet into place, but be gentle, the LACK table is not known for its structural integrity.The innovator behind this hack is Juan Gonzalez and it is available on Thingiverse.
