Printable Rails for turning a set of IKEA’s Tavelan shelves into a mini Eurorack Case. All plastic. The only hardware you need is a drill and ⅛” drill bit, eight M3 x 12mm screws, and M3 x 5mm for mounting your modules to the rails. Bring your own power supply.
There are 3 different files:
Rails for the long box.
Rails for the short box.
Drilling Template for both boxes.
Notes:
-Use ⅛” drill bit for the mounting holes in the boxes.
-The hole in the drill template is deliberately smaller than ⅛”, to increase the odds of an accurate print. Enlarge the hole with the ⅛” drill bit before drilling into your Tavelan boxes.
-Drill the sides of the boxes, not the top.
-Use M3 x 12mm screws for mounting the rails to the box.
-Use M3 x 5mm screws for attaching your modules to the rails.
-The screws will cut the threads in the rails when you mount the modules. The first time you put a screw in a hole, it may take several turns before it grabs.
-On the long box, I put a little hot glue behind the rail to keep it from flexing inwards.
-Since it’s just plastic, the threads will inevitably strip out after multiple screwing/unscrewings. You may find some extra life by using a longer screw.
Inspired by Minihawk's rails (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7108070), but I designed it from the ground up.
