CMSS - Customizable Modular Storage System - Connector

thingiverse

This is a versatile system for crafting shelves. The core component is this connector. It enables you to connect boards made from cardboard or other materials, glass, plexiglass, etc. Naturally, everything can be customized to fit your needs. We highly recommend jotting down the dimensions of each part so that you can print additional components later on. For example, the door hinge requires the same dimensions as the connector in order to fit together seamlessly. Additional features from this system: door hinge: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1693252 door handle: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1693253 I've also added a set of connectors for desks with 5mm thickness.

Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3, Rebelix, Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.252 Post-Printing What you'll need: printed parts desks made from cardboard, glass, plexiglass, etc pieces of filament to secure desks a lighter or source of high temperatures to heat the pieces of filament securing desks Getting everything together: Think about the shape you want to build Print connectors and other parts customized just for your desk thickness. Make sure they're strong enough to hold them (for glass desks, use thicker connectors, etc.) Put desks in connectors and other parts Use a lighter to create nail-shaped pieces using filament long enough to go through the desk and connector Insert nail-shaped pieces into each hole in the construction. You're done! How I Designed This We were brainstorming ideas for a shelf or storage system that we need in Makerslab. Initially, we wanted to create fully printable modular shelves, but we found it challenging to design a piece that would print easily without wasting material... So here's a system using not only printed parts, mainly cardboard, because the designs in Makerslab and Paralelní polis are made from cardboard.
