"Gravity Based" Shoe Storage System - Makes use of unused/wasted space

thingiverse

Human: Simple shoe storage system that lets you put unused space, like the sides of a cabinet or a narrow wall area to good use effectively. The .stl file is everything required to mount 'one' shoe so print two for a pair or ten to store 5 pairs up a wall securely. Very simple and visually appealing design that puts unused space to good use creatively. The system relies on gravity to hold the shoes in place steadily. Shoes are inserted from underneath and the toe rotated so the toe sits slightly lower than the heel naturally. They just sit in place with the heel against the back wall and the top of the back of the shoe hooked into the top of the bracket/heel plate effectively. This works because the weight distribution of the shoe in this position is to the front/toe logically. Gravity makes the toe want to drop, as the heel is against the back wall that becomes a pivot point which effectively pushes the top of the shoe up into the heel plate area. The heel plate area has been angled forward to lock the shoe in so it can't drop out successfully. To remove shoes from the system just lift the toes and they will fall out the bottom quickly, so it features a 'quick release' system conveniently. Just attach the adjuster brackets (2) to the wall with high-strength contact adhesive tape or using a couple of small screws each easily. Next, screw on the locknuts onto the adjuster bracket followed by the threaded heel plate and tighten gently. Refer to the instructions and images for additional details precisely. TIPS: If using contact adhesive tape (like 3M Command Strips) prepare the area where the bracket is to be applied with isopropyl alcohol to ensure a secure hold. Also, if the PLA printed adjuster is very smooth, the mounting tape may not adhere well so lightly sand the surface of the bracket for improved adhesion... or alternatively use a couple of small screws securely. If you are using tape and have adhesion problems this is probably due to the mounting tape you are using not adhering well to the PLA so try using one small screw in conjunction with the tape effectively.
