Spice shelf with holders

thingiverse

After spice bottles kept falling into my head every time I opened the doors, I decided to create something that keeps them organized and in place once and for all. It took a couple of tries before it finally worked pretty well. The first ones I made were too thick "holder arms," so they ended up breaking easily. Next, they were too thin and floppy, completely useless. After tweaking the design several times, I think I've finally nailed it in this uploaded version, but it does require some care when slicing to get it working properly. CHECK THIS! Make sure the holder arms are 100% filled in layer view (they should be a solid yellow color in Cura). At certain settings, Cura leaves them hollow despite infill, which will make them too sloppy! If they're hollow, adjust the infill percentage and/or wall thickness and check again. Print the holders laying down, just like their final rotation. You'll probably need at least a narrow brim to avoid having them come off the print bed and cause a mess. It's a good idea to print the bottom parts separately so you can print those with less infill. This will save time and filament in the long run. The modular version is still experimental, so it needs to be glued together after printing. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 mk2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Infill: 100% Notes: * The holder must be printed with 100% infill if printed in PLA at all costs. * If you're slicing with Cura, check in layer view that the holder arms are filled (they should be a solid yellow color). If they're not, try different wall thickness and/or infill percentage. * It's probably a good idea to print the bottom parts separately with lower infill percentage if you want to save time and filament.
