Ikea Lack Table Storage Shelves

prusaprinters

I was looking for a larger piece of furniture to throw some 3D Printers on and have plenty of storage. Many "lacked" the space I wanted, or were way out of budget. I'd previously built a Lack enclosure, and was extremely happy with the structure once fully braced. It finally clicked, I could go wide with essentially the same idea!Originally I design this to use all included legs that come with the Lack tables. The thick double leg columns in the middle was something I could not live with. After many iterations, I finally came to the conclusion that this design could support the weight distributed directly where the tabletops would meet with a single leg.I've had mine built now for over a year, and have absolutely no concern about integrity. This thing is solid! I built mine with sheet metal screws because Lack tables are hollow. This provided a stronger grip in comparison to a wood screw. I may have went overboard adding the optional bracing under the tables, but better safe than sorry! Oh yeah, and did I mention, this thing eats 156 screws… This design can be infinitely wide depending on the space you're trying to fill! Cost: ~$120Ikea Lack Table $15 x6#8 x ¾" Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws x150 ~$18#14 x ¾" Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws x6 ~$6Used for corner pieces with the predrilled Ikea holesOptional: 6" x 3/4" Galvanized Mending Brace x4 ~$12 Printing & Assembly: You will need to print 12 copies of each fileThese files are support free. The Corner file does use bridging.Alignment is key. Take your time lining things up and predrilling holes.Hand tighten last turns of screws to avoid splitting the printing parts. Check out my Instagram for other 3D Prints and CNC Woodworking Projects! 815 Design
