Like a standard IKEA Skadis spacer, but instead of ending in a circle, ends in a square for double-sided tape.

I have two Skadis pegboards on a closet door, held from the top by screws and wooden brackets.

Mounted just like that, the brackets and the Skadis would swing as I would close/open the door. So I created these spacers, screwed them to the Skadis and glued them to the door with double-sided tape.

The model is parametric. If you need a different spacer length, more space for the tape, need to use a slightly different heat insert etc., it should be possible by just changing parameters in the spreadsheet in the FreeCAD file.

Should print without supports with the back (i.e., flat) side on the build plate.

Prerequisites

  • 1x M4 threaded heat-set insert, diameter 6mm, length 8mm
  • 1x IKEA-provided default M4 Skadis screw (comes with front plastic cover - see attached photos), or 1x M4 machine screw of reasonable side (probably something like 15-20 mm?)
  • 1x this part
  • Double-sided tape of some sort. (Cut-down command strip should also work.)

Assembly & installation

This is assuming you have a similar use-case as I do - i.e., Skadis already attached from the top and you want to attach it more firmly to a surface behind it.

  • Print however many copies of this part you're planning to use for the attachment. I guess you might want at least one per Skadis corner?
  • Insert the threaded heat-set inserts, probably with a soldering iron.
  • Cut double-sided tape to the right size for the back of the parts (can be smaller to make things easier).
  • Attach the tape to the back sides of the parts. Don't peel off the covering on the other side yet.
  • Screw the parts to the Skadis with whatever M4 screws you have.
  • Only then:
  • Lift the Skadis away from the backing surface.
  • Peel off the remaining side of the double-sided tape on all spacers.
  • Let go of the Skadis and push it into the backing surface to let the tape adhere.
