Wine Rack for IKEA KALLAX

thingiverse

This is a wine rack for an IKEA KALLAX shelf that can be precision-cut from any plywood thickness using a lasering or CNC process. Don't forget to enter the correct plywood thickness in the source file to ensure accurate cutting results. Recommended toolpath: I used an Epilog Legend 36EXT 75W laser with outstanding performance. To get started, open the .scad file and adjust your plywood thickness in ply_size_mm = 6; You don't need to worry about accounting for the width of the laser beam, as it usually provides enough tolerance for a smooth fit. Make sure to comment out //assemble = true; to view the 2D design, then hit F6 to export all parts as dxf (not svg). Import these parts into Inkscape and arrange them on a page that fits your plywood or laser bed size. Pay close attention to the direction of the wood grain on your plywood. Set the parts to no fill and a solid stroke of 0.025mm. Save the pages in PDF form and print them directly to the laser cutter. If you prefer, you can also glue the rack together for added stability - mine is quite sturdy without it. Pre-exported DXF and SVG files are provided for 6mm ply. How I Created This Design I designed this wine rack using OpenSCAD with 2D primitives like square(), circle(), etc. I worked with two assemblies of these modules, one flat that I exported to cut, the other an assembled, extruded, 3D view of the design. By switching between them using a variable, I can easily create laserable designs.
