Brio Merry-Go-Round Replacement Pillar

Through MANY years of play, the central pillar of this Merry Go Round finally cracked, so I made a replacement one :)

Top and bottom cavities are 4.5mm ø by 10mm deep: I used some m3x8mm brass heat set inserts I had laying around and some m3 screws (can cut some to length: Just grab a variety pack of m3 screws, they come in handy for everything :)).

Printed in Silk Blue PLA+ for fun! As always, printing the STEP is recommended vs STL. The pictured one has some maybe-too-aggressive overhangs, which I softened a bit in the uploaded version (so, hopefully if someone prints this you can let me know if it was enough… if the kids manage to break this one I'll reprint and update this :P).
