Viking Celtic Shelf Bracket — Norse Dragon & Knotwork +V2

🔧 Version 2.0: Reinforced & Print-Friendly

The original design is unchanged. The structure has been reworked so the bracket is stronger, easier to print and easier to mount.

• Thicker body: now 15 mm instead of 10 mm for noticeably higher stiffness.

• Uniform wall plate: 13 mm deep along its full length, so there are no thin spots around the screw holes.

• Proper countersunk holes: for standard 4 mm wood screws (Ø4.5 mm hole, Ø9 mm 90° countersink). Screw heads sit flush.

• Longer bottom end: the lower screw hole has moved down, so your screwdriver clears the decorative scroll.

• Correct real-world size: approx. 212 × 229 × 15 mm.

• No supports needed: both faces are flat, so it prints flat on the bed.

⚔ Bring a touch of Valhalla home

Bring a touch of Valhalla to your home workshop, library, or living room with this highly detailed Norse-style shelf bracket.

The design combines traditional Celtic and Viking knotwork (influenced by historical art styles) with a stylized dragon or serpent head. It looks stunning when printed in metallic filaments (bronze, brass, or copper) and post-processed with a dark wash to emphasize the deep details and give it an authentic, antique metal look.
