Swedish (Ikea) Dresser Drawer Spacer

thingiverse

This was created to replace my daughter's dresser drawer stopper, a Leksvik unit, which used plastic spacers to keep the drawer rails away from the cabinet. Unfortunately, they weren't very reliable, and every single one of them shattered apart. These components have a much larger footprint to distribute the stresses evenly, and are secured to the cabinet using two #6 x 3/4" wood screws, followed by one #6 x 1" wood screw that passes through the drawer slider, this fitting, and fastens to the cabinet. It can also use #8 woodscrews, but I encountered difficulties finding some of an appropriate length. I used a high percentage of infill to ensure it would be strong enough to withstand the abuse of a clothes drawer in a kids' room. This design could potentially be scaled up slightly to provide a larger footprint.
