Made some replacement parts for the T430 because I had a broken T430 that was missing these. None of them require screws so they should be ideal if you find a broken T430 on the side of the road or something.

I don't have one, but thanks for making this. It's such a godsend when you just search for a fix and there it is, perfectly fitted for the device and ready to print.

How did you go about designing these? I've made a fair number of useful prints using blender, but it's not the best tool for the job.

idk, I think i just heavily used the bevel tool, 3d cursor and pen and paper

I should really learn some actual cad software though

lmao that's basically all I do. I've been meaning to dig into free cad more but lazy. I haven't even touched my printer in 4+ months at this point.
