DIY Shelf/Shoe rack cupboard furniture
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
These are plug-in connectors to build a DIY shoe rack or shelf in a honeycomb design with a few wooden boards.
They are designed to fit to 18mm wooden boards. The clamp distances of the connectors are 17.5mm. Unfortunately my wooden boards were not of good quality and their thicknesses were around 16.5-17.8mm. Keep this in mind and adjust your wooden boards, if necessary. They will hold everything together sturdily -they are thick enough and PLA is strong enough-, but they will not fit as good as intended and there will be some gaps between the boards and the connectors.
You are free to choose the length and width of the wooden boards. For example, my wooden boards are 365mm and 190mm long and 300mm wide respectively. The total dimensions of my rack are 780x305x960mm. Of course you can use less or more connectors to scale the shelf/rack.

I printed the connectors with PLA. They are stable enough but probably ABS would be a better material for this purpose. My shoe rack…
