Ikea Ribba 2 Tesa adhesive nail

thingiverse

Here's a quick rundown on what you're looking at. This little part is designed to help attach an Ikea Ribba Frame using Tesa adhesive nails. The Ribba frame, for those who might be unfamiliar, is essentially a line of picture frames sold by Ikea. You can check them out here: https://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/categories/series/16456/ Now, when it comes to the Tesa adhesive nail, that's a type of fastener used for hanging things on walls. Specifically, this one is adjustable and has a 2kg weight capacity. More info can be found here: https://www.tesa.com/en-gb/consumer/tesa-adjustable-adhesive-nail-for-wallpaper-plaster-2kg.html But the problem with these nails is that they're often too short to reach the mounting strip on frames like Ikea's Ribba. This adapter fixes that issue, making it easier to hang your picture frame securely. If you'd like to design one for yourself, I've included a Freecad file for reference.
