I am unable to download the connectors or anything other then the actual shelf part or main base plate because it’s not an stl file. Please help I have no idea what to do
@angryrainbow_1711710 What slicer are you using?
I've printed 4 main modules, and they look perfect! I'm preparing to print the connectors and have a few questions. First, are the connectors even required? It looks like I could screw each main module to the wall and then add the front plates without connectors, but maybe I'm missing something. As for printing the connectors, I'm not sure which orientation is best to print them in and also which supports are necessary. The instructions say the supports are pre-loaded in the 3MF file, but when I load it into CURA, I don't see any supports.
@Josh_1632051 Hello Josh, thank you for appreciating our model. Regarding the connectors, they're designed to align and space modules for a polished look when adding a plate on top. The sturdy connectors support a significant amount of structure, allowing you to simplify assembly by screwing each side of your composition. While connectors ensure stability, if you prefer, I guess you can bypass the need of connectors if you screw each module individually, ensuring proper alignment. As for printing support, the 3mf is preloaded for Prusa Slicer; however, Cura may not recognize the support. Print with as many surfaces connected to the bed as possible, and use supports for the protruding wings. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I love the design but needed a shelf fall protection. I designed one and it snaps on perfectly with the shelves. You can find it here: https://www.printables.com/model/702145-shelf-fall-protection
Espectacular. Lleva mucho tiempo, pero vale la pena. Todabia tengo que seguir, pero lo recomiendo mucho
Still working out how to get the shelves to hold more without sagging. Wrapping the friction cones on the shelf modules with duct tape helped but did not solve all my problems. So close to having this working so it can really solve my initial use case. Holding wine safely near the couch. Five stars since the design looks great if I could get it to stay aligned and hold. Caveats are this takes a lot of materials and the shelves sag.
I found I had to screw every base plate tightly to the wall and use all possible connectors as well.
I printed the parts using both my printers and it took almost a week. (edited)
@davidwest_129438 that looks great, unfortunately the models isn’t design to support more than 5kg per module, but your solutions seems great.
this project looks really cool, but the material waste is insane. It's a great starting point but it could be done so that it would use only a fraction of the material and be much easier to print.
@KasparKuldkep_393354 you can definitely say that it is over engineered for sure, sturdiness and stability was more important than efficiency, but if you have the time feel free to remodel it, I’ll be glad to see a new model with more efficiency without compromising too much on the capability of supporting weight :).
I LOVE these designs! These are completely amazing in every way! I've been meaning to print different patterns and make new layouts!
@Bred very cool !
props this looks really clean
Good work :)
but on the iphone IQ charger model there are no propper chamfer on the outer edges like on the other models, making it print ugly!
@HegreEngineering you are right, the iPhone qi charger is such a specific usage, with a specific accessory, I thought no one wanted to print it ever, in fact I design it for myself, I just added the design to « show » the possibilities and encourage people to remix for themselves. So yeah the design lack of chamfer i noticed it myself when I print it but never bother to correct it, thinking that’s good enough for my usage.
These are wonderful - thank you. When you say a mass limit of 5 kg, at what infill % are you using?
15% infill
Thanks for the quick reply.
