Fully customizable flush cabinet shelf plate and pins

How make

• Open the shelf_insert_customizable.f3d in fusion 360. • In the design view, open modify → change parameters. • Note down the following measurements: • Width, height and depth of the existing shelf. • Measure the distance to the pin-holes from the side: |---------O-----------O------------| (side view) ^ ^ • Measure the depth of the pin-holes in your cabinet. If you are measuring the holes and not any existing pins, remember that the hole depth can vary a bit. • Measure the diameter of the existing pins, or the hole itself.

• Fill in the parameters from the measurements and fill in whatever you'd like on the rest of the parameters. On all of the measurements i would rather go a bit under the exact length then over as the design allows for some tolerance. • Export into your favorite slicer. I usually do .step files and split it into separate objects for printing.

Print recommendations

• Do a test fit of a single pin before printing the rest of the plate/pins. Remember that the pin diameter will effect the plate-cutout, so re-export everything if you do any changes. • Do not print the pins standing, and always print them with 100% infill. Prints are generally weaker in the direction of the layer, and it might lead to your pins shearing along the layer lines under load. • When printing the pins, a handy feature in some slicers is “complete individual objects”. I recommend using this for printing all 4 pins in the corners of the plate to prevent stringing. • Orient the flat part of the shelf-plate to the bottom of the print-bed so you don't need supports. • If you are using a filament that is prone to warp even slightly(yes even PETG) be aware of warping when printing the shelf-plate. Try not to use too many bottom layers. • I like to use adaptive-cubic or any other triangular infill. • Be aware of the effect of heat creep(deformation over time) if you are using this in a hot environment. Also you might want check if your filament is prone to heat creep.

Disclamer

Please be careful with putting too much weight on your plastic pinned shelf. I am not responsible for your shelf breaking and ruining your stuff and/or yourself or others.

Use your vertical space, and happy printing :)
