Decorative Corbel / Console Shelving Bracket Print Dimensions: 6inches x 6inches French Cleat Angle: 45 degrees Infill: 25% Intended Screw Size: #8 (0.16 inch) Printer Used: Lulzbot Mini I set out to combine my woodworking hobby with the exciting world of 3D printing, creating decorative corbels that add a touch of elegance to molding projects without breaking the bank. With Autodesk Fusion 360 at my disposal, I designed this corbel to fit within the maximum print dimensions of my Lulzbot Mini. However, I soon discovered that tweaking standard Cura settings is essential for achieving those max dimensions. As a novice, I scaled it down to fit within the allowed limits, resulting in a final product length of approximately 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Build Tools Used: Cordless Drill Table Saw with pivoting saw head (or an angled circular saw) To build the cleat backing, I ripped a 1/4-inch ply using my table saw at 45 degrees. Next, I located the studs on the wall with a stud finder and drilled the backing plate directly into the wall, allowing me to cut the shelf length to any size and attach the corbels or consoles as needed.
