My very first model. I've always been so annoyed by books falling out of the Ikea Platsa shelf because although it IS a shelf, it doesn't have closed sides or at least some bars.
Yesterday I had a spontaneous idea for a solution, went through a 3D modelling tutorial, printed it in the colour I used last and … it worked!
The bar is as thick as the shelf bars so if printed in white it'll blend into the design.
Print:
You need both parts, the male and the female one.
I printed with PLA+, 210°C, 60°C bed, 0.2 mm layer, Vmax 120mm. Support on, only on bed.
Install:
Depending on your printer settings you might need to sand the male one a bit until it fits, but then it sits tightly. This is intended to meet even those crazy people who manage to get the cleanest prints ever :)
Platsa comes with pilot holes on the frame, you insert the pins into the holes, the thin noses beside the pins facing inwards. Join the two parts like it's shown in one of the pictures.
