Growing Shelf Squared and extended

thingiverse

This is a collection of extended elements that you can combine to create any shape you desire. Use them for building shelves for storage, and add more pieces to expand your shelves across an entire wall. This set includes two sets of "extended elements" that allow you to grow OUT as well as Up/Down/Left/Right. These are perfect for individuals with smaller printers who want wider shelves. Just like me. I also included two sets of Ferjerez's original elements with "extended elements." You can mix and match from both to create both curved and straight sections in your shelf creations. Ferjerez's NOTES Straight from Ferjerez's page: How it works: Print a lot of pieces. Find a nice combination Use pins and glue them together for a strong module Combine modules Attach them to a wall, place them on your desktop or do whatever you want. Add stuff Go back to step 1. The files: I've included the STLs with the 40x40 mm parts and the pins used for Thingview. Also included are ZIP files with the sets of pieces for 40x40, 40x80, 80x40, 80x80, 120x40 and 160x40 parts. There's also a file with an array of 9 pins. You'll need lots of pins. About the customizer: If you need a set of parts not included in the STLs, use the customizer and adjust the sizes of the pieces as needed. In the customizer, set the size of the main grid (40 mm by default) and the thickness of the parts (10 mm default). Then you can generate the parts by multiplying the grid size by 1 to 4 times. Important: The pins are not enough to make a strong structure. For a strong hold, use pins and apply glue to both the pins and the edges of the wall pieces. I'm using instant glue and it works really well. You can use double-sided tape or some hooks or racks to attach the shelves to walls. More info: The pins are 10 mm x 5 mm. But I'm printing them a bit smaller (9 x 4.75). There's no need for a perfect fit since I used glue in the pins for a good and strong join of parts. And last: I'm testing more pieces and parts that can be useful for different designs or functions. Eventually, I'll upload some kind of "expansion pack" with parts compatible with this one. Hope you find it useful. Happy printing and have fun!!
