Hexagon style DIY shelves

thingiverse

Hexagon style shelves are a popular DIY project, flooding the internet with tutorials and instructions. After studying hundreds of hexagon designs, I noticed that most creators relied heavily on a sliding compound miter saw. As it turns out, I don't own a compound miter saw or know anyone who does, making this project a unique challenge. The Concept A hexagon shelf consists of six wooden boards with 60-degree edges on both sides. To create this design without a miter saw, I came up with an innovative solution: using a 3D-printed mounting block that attaches to the sides of each board. This triangular-shaped block allows adjacent boards to be mounted at a 60-degree angle, eliminating the need for expensive cutting tools. The 3D print features three holes where screws attach the mounting block to the wooden boards. While this solution may seem costly due to the required 3D printer, it's a creative workaround that makes DIY hexagon shelves more accessible.
