Brackets for building a DIY shelf out of a 1x10 or similar shelf board.  Designed for X1C print bed (256mm * 256mm).

*please note the slicer modifiers to make the bracket/screw part much strong

I wanted a shelf that could specifically hold my vintage gaming consoles, while also letting my 5 1/4" floppy disk storage boxes slide underneath.  The available space on my desk was 24".  The local home depot near me sells 24" long by 10" deep shelf boards for under $10.

This is the largest bracket I could fit on an X1C print bed (256mm x 256mm).  It is overkill at 175g per bracket.  I used $10 rolls of eSun ABS I got on sale (10 for $10).  I printed with the following settings (see photos):

  • Material:  eSun black ABS
  • Layer height:  0.28mm draft
  • Infill: 15% gyroid (Modified the “brackets” portion to print at 25% infill)*
  • Perimeter walls: 2 (Modified the “brackets” portion to print at 5 walls)*
  • Supports:  No
  • Brim:  Yes Yes Yes - as much as you can add - warpage is worse on large boxey prints like this.  Any tricks you normally use to get prints to stay on the plate, use those tricks.

To assemble you need:

  • Qty 1 shelf board - I used “Chestnut Laminated Wood Shelf 10 in. D x 24 in. L (0.63" deep)”
  • Qty 4 - #10 x ¾" wood screws (My board was 0.63" deep; for thicker boards use longer screws)  Drill a 1/8" pilot hole.
  • Qty 2 - Printed shelf brackets (175g of filament per bracket in my case)
  • (Optional) Qty 2 - Printed accent color inserts

This was my first ever Fusion 360 model.  Uses too much filament, but is sturdier than comparable cheap particleboard shelves from big box stores when using a quality piece of sheld board.  Better than nothing!  Cost to me:  340g filament at $10/kg, $9 for the shelf board, $4 for the screws.  If you have screws and wood laying around, cost to you can be much cheaper!
