This is the big brother to my model for the 25cm (9 ¾″) SANNAHED frame

This insert transforms the IKEA Sannahed 50×50 cm (19 ¾×19 ¾″) frame into a LEGO®-compatible pixel art canvas.

Each piece is only 150mm on its longest side, so it fits almost any FDM printer. This is not for the faint of heart, as its 62x62 stud design means there's 3844 studs to fill - or more than 4× the area of the smaller SANNAHED.

Most printers can only fit one piece at a time, so yes - You'll be starting your printer 17 times before you can supersize your brick art.

The pieces lock together with mostly dovetail connectors. Each locking piece is designed with 0.2mm clearace on all sides. The entire model can be printed without support -Simply sand the recessed dovetail pockets a bit to get rid of the ‘droopy’ first floating layer and glue the pieces together.

The wooden spacer that comes with the frame holds everything snugly, while the depth of the frame even lets you go a bit 3D with your art.

When you’re ready for something new? Pop it out, swap the design, hang it back up. Repeat forever.

Happy Building!

Notes

Model sizes: 150mm on the longest side → fits on every common FDM build plate

No supports necessary! The gap over the dovetail recess should bridge just fine.

light sanding on the dovetail pockets is required, if you print without supports.

Glue the dovetails into the pockets once you're happy with the fit.

Make sure to put the wooden spacer that comes with the frame between the plexiglass and 3D printed insert for maximum depth.
