Ikea Trones shoe storage cabinets adhesive mount plate

thingiverse

I designed the shoe storage cabinets Ikea Trones fixing plate with FreeCAD to resolve a major problem: the cabinets tilt forward and become unbalanced when opening, which happens because they're often installed near bathroom water pipes without adequate support. The drill's risk of damaging tile edges adds to this difficulty. To attach the cabinet to tiles without causing damage, I've made an adhesive mounting plate. --- --- DISclaimER --- CAUTION: The author of this thing (Alessio Cavalieri) assumes no liability for any injury or loss caused by failure of retention plates leading to fall and subsequent Trones breakage. It is mandatory to check effectiveness of the retention before loading weight on Trones, never stack more than two storage cabinets, see pictures. --- intro --- The shoe storage cabinets Ikea Trones require a fixing because opening them becomes unbalanced and they tilt forward, often mounted close to water pipes in the bathroom without adequate support. To mount near water pipes while not wanting to pierce tiles with a drill, I designed this adhesive mounting plate with FreeCAD. --- bonding --- I proceeded as follows for gluing: 1 - Placed the two stacked shoe storage cabinets 2 - Marked the matching of mounting holes on the high side of tiles using permanent marker 3 - Removed the shoe storage cabinets 4 - Cut a piece of paper to size, 50x50 mm 5 - Practiced a hole in center of template; placed with mark on tile and made reference for plate edge 6 - Scored edges on paper template as perimeter to bond
