Metal rack foot

thingiverse

I have an older steel IKEA rack that has only steel profiles touching the floor as feet. Since I don't like the idea of plain metal scratching over my floor, and I also wanted to increase the clearance of the racks so my robo vacuum can clean under them, I built the plastic feet. A drop of hot glue or any other glue will keep them in place - I'm not moving those racks around, after all. I printed with PLA and 100% infill to counteract the fact that the entire weight of the rack is applied to these plastic feet. Industrial-grade materials might produce satisfactory results with lower infill grades, but I've never tried them, so feel free to share your experience with them! Also included is my Fusion 360 design, which is entirely parametric, so you can adjust it to your needs. Pro tip: If your floor isn't horizontal and you want to compensate for that, you can print these "horseshoes" with different heights.
