Tube Shelf

thingiverse

Creating a designated spot for essentials requires careful planning and strategic placement. For myself, this small shelf will serve as a home for keys and wallet, eliminating the ongoing search. It's also designed to double as a convenient spot near the shower. Following the printed instructions, I set the infill at 40% before sending it to the printer. Be prepared to manually enlarge some of the holes to ensure proper fit. I used 10mm aluminum tubes for the structure, but due to production tolerances, slight variations in size became apparent. This required using a drill bit to widen certain holes and applying glue to securely fasten the smaller ones. The result was both functional and educational - the printer's precision often exceeded that of the aluminum hardware's manufacturing process.
