Parametric Shelf Bracket

Parametric (customizable) shelf bracket.

You can print it out as one solid piece, or as three separate pieces. If you do a solid piece, you will need supports, and the inner curve might not look as nice on the side with supports. If you print out the three separate pieces, just add a bit of super glue to the teeth and lightly hammer (using a cloth to avoid marks) the curve into place.

I added optional "wings" to this bracket to give the ability to offset the brackets so they are centered on the wall and still screwing into the [off-centered] stud.

Including files for 4" shelf bracket.

Note: the design only works right now if the depth and height of the bracket are the same. If anyone wants to modify it so the curve compensates for different ratios, go nuts!

Notes:

Place a fuzzy cloth over the wall/side pieces and lightly hammer the curve into place. It might take a bit of force, but it will fit and be very strong.

After the curve is in place, glue the inter-locking teeth of the shelf and wall piece together. Hold them together in a clamp until the glue is set.
