Ikea Fintorp cover and spacer for installation using tesa Power.Kit (glue on studs)

<p>I wanted to mount my Ikea Fintorp draining rack without drilling into the walls, thus avoiding to damage pipework and tiles in my kitchen.</p> <p>Therefore, I got one set of these glue-on studs from tesa:</p> <p><a href="https://www.tesa.com/en/consumer/tesa-spare-adapter-kit-bk43-2.html">https://www.tesa.com/en/consumer/tesa-spare-adapter-kit-bk43-2.html</a></p> <p>To hide them, I made small covers and also some spacers that allow for the holder to be supported by the wall.</p> <p>Both models are fully customizable. To tweak them to your needs, download the FreeCAD-files (*.fcstd) and open the spreadsheet ("Customize here"). All of the relevant variables can be changed there.</p> <p>I fastened the nuts with my fingers first and used a flat screwdriver to push their edges to fully tighten them.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The covers fit quite tight, especially the thread clicks into it. For me this was nice, but maybe you prefer a little bit more clearance.</p> <p>I printed the covers upside down from PETG on a textured bed which makes for a nice surface finish. Wall thickness (0,89mm) and thickness of the flat part (0,5mm) are optimised for a 0,4mm nozzle in combination with 0,05mm layer height. Even with this fine layer height, printing time is about half an hour for one.</p> <p>The spacers clip right to the metal rods. Beware, that for optimal results, the height of the cover has to be matched by the spacer internal structure, cf. screenshots.</p> <p>Neither support nor brim is needed to print both models.</p>
