A Slightly Postmodern Shelf

thingiverse

January 3 This remix of my "Very Modern" Shelf features a corrugated exterior designed to minimize material usage and warpage. To overcome printing challenges with ABS, I modified the original solid-walled design by modeling the exterior component STL as a solid. Printing with 0% infill and 0 solid layers at the top simplifies slicing. The interior bracket requires relatively heavy infill. The shelf bracket attaches to the wall using two or three screws, while the exterior piece slides over it. I deliberately made this small to prevent overloading. It's perfect for holding a small tablet and some reading glasses. Update: I've included a new Grasshopper file that allows separate control of corrugations on vertical and horizontal surfaces ("Shelf 3.gh"). Along with the updated source file, two new STLs are provided (the "shelf 7" files), which produce a wider and shallower shelf. On display on this shelf are loubie's Aria the Dragon, CreativeTools' 3DBenchy, Marvin from 3DHubs, my own Parametric Stand, and Smithsonian's female blue crab. You'll also find Rhino + Grasshopper source files, which can be used to create a custom-sized shelf. This project is part of Pittsburgh's Fun a Day, 2017. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 0% for exterior, ~50% for bracket Notes: For slicing the exterior, refer to the description. I printed it in very green HatchBox ABS.
