The New Hotness

For a round patio table, although you can’t tell from the picture:

Also despite appearances, that’s 3D printed from clear-ish TPU, with its black appearance due to internal reflections from the leg’s dark interior.

The original hard-white-plastic feet had eroded enough to let the aluminum legs scrape the deck paint:

The only way to extract each old foot was to hack out a segment with a razor knife, after which it slid out easily.

The ring around the top of the sections provides enough griptivity inside the leg to hold the foot in place:

As with the TPU chains on the bike rack tray holder, I expect the compressed / bent segments will gradually relax inside the legs, but the feet ought not fall out in normal use.

The OpenSCAD source code isn’t quite a one-liner, but it’s close:
