IKEA Lack hanging helper

thingiverse

I was tasked with installing 16 IKEA Lack shelving units, the small ones. Instead of measuring 22.5cm for each installation, I designed and printed a guide that shows hole spacing and a tab marking the top surface of the shelf. Once you decide where the top surface will be located, place the tool against the wall with the tab at the correct height, use a small bubble level to level it, mark the holes, drill and repeat. Print Settings: Printer: XYZPrinting Da Vinci Pro Rafts: They don't matter. Supports: Same thing, they don't matter. Resolution: .3mm is the setting I used. Infill: I chose 10% or less for this project. Notes: The tool is only 2mm high, so I had to print it diagonally to fit on the bed.
