Modular Fridge Egg Storage Shelf

This compact modular egg rack is specially designed to fit snugly inside narrow refrigerator door shelves. It provides a multi-tier, space-saving storage solution that holds up to 30 eggs while optimizing vertical fridge space.

Features

Designed for maximum practical organization and convenience, this model includes:

• Compact Fridge Door Fit: Form factor custom-sized to sit securely in narrow refrigerator door compartments.

• 30-Egg Capacity: Holds up to 30 eggs across three removable 10-egg trays.

• Staggered Egg Layout: Staggered row arrangement prevents eggs on adjacent levels from bumping into each other and optimizes vertical clearance.

• 9-Level Height Adjustability: Side panels feature 9 horizontal slot positions to adjust tray spacing for different egg sizes.

• Dovetail Locking System: Integrated drop-in dovetail grooves lock shelves securely in place to prevent accidental sliding when opening the fridge door.

• Interlocking Frame Assembly: Structural horizontal connection bars lock the side walls firmly together using dovetail joints without requiring hardware.

• Overall Dimensions: 260 mm (Width) x 180 mm (Height) x 87 mm (Depth)

• Egg Hole Diameter: 37 mm

• Bottom Clearance: 17 mm clearance beneath the lowest tray level

• Default Tier Spacing: 55 mm spacing between default tray positions (Levels 1, 4, and 7)

• Adjustable Slot Levels: 9 total height levels on side panels

How to Assemble

Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to assemble and use the modular egg shelf:

1. Assemble Frame: Slide the two lower horizontal connecting bars into the bottom dovetail slots of the side panels from bottom to top, then slide the top rear bar into place to lock the frame structure.

2. Install First Tray: Insert the first standard tray into the lowest slot level (Level 1) until it reaches the rear stop, then drop it into the locking grooves. Load with 10 eggs.

3. Install Second Tray: Slide the mirrored tray into slot Level 4 until it hits the back stop, then drop it down to lock. Load with 10 eggs.

4. Install Third Tray: Slide the remaining standard tray into slot Level 7 until fully seated, drop into locking grooves, and load with 10 eggs.

5. Adjust for Easy Access: As top trays are emptied, move them to higher slots (such as Level 9 or Level 8) to clear vertical space for easier access to lower trays.

Recommended Print Settings

For optimal print quality, structural durability, and functional performance, use the following slicer settings:

• Material: PLA or PETG

• Layer Height: 0.2 mm

• Infill: 20% (Gyroid recommended)

• Wall Loops: 5–6 wall loops (recommended for mechanical frame stability)

• Supports: Not required

Usage & Tips

Here are key operational tips for optimal performance:

• To insert a tray, align it horizontally in the side tracks, push completely to the back stop, and let it settle downward into the dovetail locking notches.

• To remove or adjust a tray, lift it slightly upward first, then pull straight forward out of the tracks.
