This was designed for the IKEA IDANÄS Cabinet with bi-folding doors.  In an effort to hide the shelf pin IKEA recessed the hole so deep that only 3/16" of shelf material remains.  That will certainly blow out the particle board shelf with any significant weight, or movement, over time.

This insert accepts the shelf pin and transfers some of the weight to the underside of the shelf.  I haven't tested, but this should be significantly stronger.  The trade-off is the shelf pin will be slightly visible.

See the included picture for how to orient on the print bed.  No supports are necessary.  I recommend adding a fuzzy skin on the shaft to help grip the particle board walls.  With just a bit of pressure I was able to push these into place.  The shelf pins need a little bit of pressure as well to click into place.
