Small Glue Shelf

thingiverse

After a trip to the hobby show, I headed home and began sorting through my supplies. The area dedicated to glue storage was getting crowded, so I decided to tackle the issue immediately. I pulled out my trusty 3D printer on my desk and got to work designing a custom shelf to provide some much-needed relief. This project was executed quickly and efficiently, thanks to the speed and flexibility of 3D printing technology - one of its many advantages that draws me in. In no time at all, I measured out the glue containers for clearance purposes, created this model, uploaded it into Slic3r using a PETG preset I had previously set up, and exported the .gcode file. A few hours later, my custom shelf was complete. Print Settings: Printer: Original Prusa i3 MKII Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.20 mm Infill: 100% for the first 21 layers, with a honeycomb pattern at 10% density for the remainder Notes: I used Orange Makeshaper PETG filament and an orange hotend at 242c, along with a heated bed set to 75c. Post-Printing: Drill mounting holes Secure the box firmly in place Mark two hole positions, one-half inch from the top edge and one inch in from each side Drill two holes using a three-sixteenth drill bit.
