Spice Rack for Small Cupboard

thingiverse

This spice rack was designed specifically for a compact 7.5” cupboard. The project combines a 3D printed frame with wooden shelves, requiring some cutting and drilling to complete. While plastic shelves could be printed, they may warp over time due to their material properties. You can easily scale up this shelf design to any size, but you might need additional 3D printed supports in the middle to prevent shelf bowing. To get started, gather these materials: * A drill with a 3/16 bit * 3/16 piece of wood dowel rod for pins under shelves * 4’ piece of ¼” x 2” flat wood (oak, popular, pine) for shelves * Center punch * Tape * Glue Now, follow these steps to bring your spice rack to life: 1. 3D Print the two side supports with a 20% grid infill. 2. Head to your local big box store and pick up a piece of ¼” thick by 2” wide wood for the shelves. 3. Use a printer at 1:1 scale (no scaling or fitting necessary). 4. Lay all your boards flat together, securing them with tape. 5. Attach the template to each side of the board using tape. 6. Mark the center of the hole on the template using a center punch. 7. Drill halfway through the ¼” board. 8. Cut a piece of dowel rod approximately ½” long. 9. Apply a drop of glue into the hole. 10. Gently tap the dowel rod into place with a small hammer, allowing it to cut down into the hole filled with glue. 11. Repeat this process for all four shelves. 12. Assemble the shelf by attaching the back support, either using tape or glue.
