IKEA Samla 45L - Under Desk Mount

prusaprinters

<p>This is an under-desk mount made to fit the IKEA Samla (modelled after the 45L box) which I use to hang my filament drybox as can be seen in the pictures. The mount was designed to be specifically compatible with their ALEX desk (<a href="https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/alex-desk-white-80483438/#content">this one in particular</a>) however this should work for pretty much any other desk as well.</p><h4>Printing Recommendations</h4><p>For both pieces, I recommend printing them upright as this will give maximum strength and the fewest supports. However, I strongly suggest printing both with a brim as a result.</p><p>The side piece has all 45-degree angles (except the fillets) so it's safe to print without supports.</p><p>The corner piece has a small bit of modelled-in supports that will need to be removed after printing. The clearance for the support is 0.2mm so make sure to not exceed that layer height when printing the supports.</p><h4>Installation</h4><p>One note is that this can be a tricky install so I suggest putting some large paper/cardboard over the Samla lid and punch holes where the mount screw holes would be. Then transfer that to the underside of the table by holding it up to the desk and marking those to-be drilled holes with a sharpie. From there it's a simple drill and install process. The mounts have play in them so that you don't need to get them 100% exact but you do need to get it pretty close.</p><h5>Hardware</h5><p><strong>The screw holes were designed to use M4x15mm wood screws.</strong> At 15mm I only had a few mm left before breaking through the top of the board so I would double-check your screw clearance before installing.</p><h4>How to Use</h4><p>The pieces are designed so that you can mount them in any orientation going from front-to-back or left-to-right on the box (the pictures I've posted show them being used left-to-right). The corner pieces stay stationary and the side piece is able to slide back and forth on its mounting screw to be able to lift the box in and out.</p><h4>Downloads</h4><p>The relevant 3MF, STP and f3d files can be found in the downloads section.
