Modular and re-usable plywood furniture connectors

<p>Use these connectors along with plywood, MDF or other panel products to make modular, customizable and re-configurable furniture. &nbsp;You can make tables, shelves, foot stools, computer monitor stands or other organizers. &nbsp;These are great for student dorms, kids rooms and other places that get moved or re-configured a lot; you can take them apart, they pack down flat for storage or moving and you can re-configure them again and again.</p><p>The insides have little ridges to help hold them in place. &nbsp;They are very sturdy, I can stand on a shelf without it breaking, but to be on the safe side, don't use these for ladders or step stools.</p><p>The included models and print files work perfectly with nominally ½" plywood, my plywood measures out to 0.508 inches or 12.9 mm thick. &nbsp;But, plywood comes in all different thicknesses and is not always consistent. &nbsp;After you find whatever plywood you are using and have it sanded and finished as you like, measure it with a caliper and scale the model files as needed. &nbsp;They should scale well for a wide range of thicknesses, so you could scale it down to fit ¼" (6mm) plywood or up to ¾" (18mm). &nbsp;To check the fit, scale and print the ‘foot’ (it is the smallest) to test.&nbsp;</p><p>You could use the most versatile ‘middle’ model for everything or make it a little tidier by using the ‘corner’ and ‘edge’ pieces as needed. &nbsp;You might not need the ‘foot’ model at all, but it is small and quick to print so it makes a good test piece to make sure the fit is just right.</p><p>I added a set of scaled down pieces to fit nominally ¼" plywood. &nbsp;The actual thickness of the plywood was 0.214". &nbsp;To scale it I took the size I needed, divided it by the size that fits at 100% (0.508") and multiplied by 100 to get the scale factor in %. (0.214"/0.508")x100=42.1%. &nbsp;I used these mini versions to make another small shelf and some drawer dividers. &nbsp;The foot doesn't work scaled down this far, the skinny side gets too thin to print.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
