Kitchen Mug / Cup Shelf / Small Shelf v.4

***UPDATE #2*** - August 13th, 2026 - Uploaded Version 4; Increased the sturdiness of the legs slightly and rounded the corners to make it easier to slide into tighter cupboards at an angle. Also slightly thickened the top shelf again to increase rigidity there.

***UPDATE*** - Sept. 14th, 2025 - Uploaded Version 3 as version 2 worked, but the shelf was still too thin so starts to sag over time. Version 3 has a thicker shelf area that is 1cm thicker than the old one to make it sturdier.

Want to make some more space in your kitchen cabinets, but still want all your cups/mugs easily accessible at once?

Enter the mug shelf! 3D-modeled this in TinkerCad and printed it to fit in my kitchen cabinets to house my two sets of matching mugs. Roughly fits 3 mugs on top and 3 underneath - the top has thickened areas underneath to help to keep the shelf from bending between the spaces mugs would sit on.

Printed on a Malyan MA-10 (Creality CR-10 clone) out of PLA with a build plate temp of 55C and a nozzle temp of 210C. Resolution was 0.15mm. Infill was set to 8 with the Grid infill pattern, sliced in Cura. Print upside down, then no supports are needed.

You can up the Infill if you want it to be a little sturdier. For me, it was fine at 8 as I wanted to save on filament and it was 3D-modeled to EXACTLY fit my cabinets so the legs get extra support by being right against the walls of the cabinet. You could easily adjust it to whatever size you want and it, of course, would hold plenty of other things aside from just mugs.

Dimensions - 28.75cm long X 8cm wide X 12cm tall.
