Invisible stacking connectors for IKEA-LACK table

thingiverse

I construct a housing for my 3D printer using IKEA LACK tables. To accomplish this, I stack them on top of each other in a way that prevents slipping. Many methods to solve this problem exist on Thingiverse, but few meet my aesthetic requirements. My objectives for this project were clear: the connection between the tables must be invisible, non-slippery, and easy to assemble; it should also be possible to disassemble without tools. The chosen solution requires some effort upfront, but the result is completely hidden from view. To achieve this, I have to hollow out the table legs, a relatively simple process since the chipboard used is only 1 cm - 1.5 cm thick and crumbly. In some cases, however, a 3.5 cm plate of more stable material may be glued in. I believe that the effort is still justified, as the outcome speaks for itself. Additional parts required: * 4 self-tapping screws (5.5 x 25) * Adhesive Printer settings used: * Material: PLA * Resolution: 0.2mm * Wall thickness: 1.2mm * Infill: 20% * Support: No * Adhesion: Skirt
