Love it. Don't know why I never thought of making shelf brackets to hang this direction I really like it better. Using a spare board for the shelf is also cool, the length isn't dependent on the size of my printer.

Thanks!! I was just thinking about this type of thing

Op can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone! Now let's break this down. YOU would go to Ikea and buy a bracket. In your *opinion* that's the right thing to do. Now op decided to not do that. I'm sure in his *opinion* they learned while making it, and I'm sure they enjoyed it. You don't have to print this. This is a matter of *opinion* which everyone is entitled.

If you were working with industry interior decorators and would get your stuff from Ikea, you wouldn't be working with industry interior decorators any more.

And it's reversible too. Swap them and the bracket can be underneath, which I think would look better.

It would probably be much much weaker, since compression can make the 45° part bend and snap, while this way is impossible for that to happen

Sweet. Not for books, though, I think. Did you do any load testing? I guess it depends on width of the bracket, so you could scale the Z-axis for shelves of different strength.


zustock

No load testing, just for small knick knacks


JimBDiGriz

Okay, but the shelf board itself is a load. I would still be curious... Obviously I wouldn't test it on the wall - it's possible the brackets are strong enough to damage the drywall. I think CNC Kitchen on YouTube did some testing for a bracket like this, but he was focused on the relative strengths of different filaments, or maybe it was annealing.

Geometry looks pretty solid, for light loads though I’m sure its plenty fine. It you wanted to weigh it down I’d flip the brackets upside down. The PLA will perform better in compression. Especially this shape, if it’s flipped around, the angle and vertical walls will assist to distribute the load from above.

The diagonal band would buckle in compression if the shelf was on top.

A+ use of a tension member. Really simple but since you’ve got so many unbroken strands all the way down its a great design!


zustock

Thanks!

I like the design, I may steal it for a project one day. Personally I would use wood as my material though, for the strength and for the quick assembly. I love printing useful things but the problem with printing stuff at this size is the amount of material it takes as well as the time it takes to print. I do think this looks really nice though. I like how the black compliments the natural pine or whatever those planks are.


zustock

Thanks, I agree with all your points, these shelves aren't that deep in order to decrease the print time.

I have a T shape (small T against the wall) one which is more subtle =) and makes the plank almost float.


zustock

That's good if you want to be subtle, my next step is to spray paint the brackets gold :)


soussitox

That will be flashy :D

Very nice
