Display Case for Ikea Kallax

thingiverse

This simple yet slick display case for the Ikea Kallax shelf is designed around a 3mm thick acrylic glass sheet. The acrylic glass can be sourced online quite cheaply and has a amazingly clean look. There are two versions available for download - Type B is my recommended one since it makes it very easy to access the display case. **Acrylic Glass Sheet:** Dimensions: 332x332x3mm Cost: around 5€ per sheet **Before you start:** Try to fit the display case into the shelf first without glueing to ensure a good fit. Because of the varying dimensions of the Ikea shelves there might be some tolerance work to be done. Please share your own experiences with the tolerances. (for referance: my shelves vary from 335mm to 337mm) **How to assemble:** Make sure the corners are grease free (for me there was a plastic wrap applied to both sides) and apply some superglue (cyanoacrylat) to one side of a corner. Insert the sheet into a panel holder of your choice and press it on for a couple of seconds (flat side). Repeat for all corners and let the glue harden. *et voilà!*
