I managed to pick up a secondhand Schiavello tambour cache for my tools - but one of the shelf supports was missing. 

I originally modeled this part in 2020 in DesignSpark Mechanical and printed it on my Ender 3 - it wasn't perfect and needed a light filing to make it fit.

I have re-made my model in Plasticity 3d and made some minor tweaks to strengthen some of the small details, a few fillets to round off some (not all) corners and and it now fits without adjustment or filing.

Print on its side with supports for optimal strength. .2mm Layer height works well, lower may make better use of the tiny chamfer on both edges to prevent elephants foot.

I have had my original (pictured top left of image in blue silk  PLA) one in place since 2020 without issues (noting 3 of the four pins are originals) - YMMV.

Pictured is printed with grey Sunlu PLA+ and the shelf with four printed pegs holds 40kg without issue.

The black peg in the image is one of the injection molded originals I have based this model on.
