After tugging my recliner back into position on the carpet one too many times, I decided to try to find a way to anchor it. I looked at felt pads, rubber pads, etc., but none seemed like they would work the way I needed them to.
I flipped my recliner over to look at the feet, which are pretty much two wooden rails like sled runners. No wonder they kept sliding. They had slots cut in them to hold plastic "feet", made out of what seems to be milk jug plastic, another cause of the sliding. One was missing, so I decided to replace all of them with spiky cleats. My recliner hasn't moved from its place since.
For strength purposes, and to avoid snapping the spine off inside the groove, print vertically as it is oriented in the .stl. Supports aren't needed, and I've added a removable brim to help with keeping it stuck to the print surface.
