Reclining wall chair

Introduction

I keep my shoes in my under-stairs storage and when I have to put them up I have to sit on the stairs so I thought it could be useful a seat that doesn't take up space and that's very practical.

To realise my idea, first I thought about a place in the under-stairs storage that isn't used and wouldn't be used for many other purposes, the door. So in my mind came a reclinable seat screwed on the door. 

After the start of the 3d model I found a problem, I wasn't sure if the seat could resist the weight even if I made it thick. After some thinking, I added a foldable leg so that the weight would go also on the groud and it could close with the seat.

What you need

• All the files 3d printed

• 2 full mortise mount hinges (the ones in the photos in the assembling guide)

• the screws for the hinges (depends on the hinges)

• 8 M10 10cm long screws

• glue (or even better some kind of appropriate solvent welding agents)

• 4 magnets (6 cm diameter, 6 mm heigh)

• 4 magnets (1,5 cm diameter, 0.5 mm heigh)

Assembling guide

To recreate the model you'll start by assembling the parts that compose the product. After that you'll have to assemble those parts on your designed area (wall, door like me, ...) to recreate the model.

Parts assembly

First you are gonna assemble the supports then the seat and finally the first part of the leg (the second one will be assembled in the assembly of the model.

Support assembly

Take all the pieces from the "Supports ..." folder and start to build!

1) The assembly of this part is very simple, in fact this is the only passage. So take the bottom part of the right support and glue it to the upper part fitting the connection, do the same thing to build the left support (using the parts for left support):

They should look like this:

Seat assembly

Now take all the pieces from the "Seat ..." folder and continue the guide.

1) Glue together the bottom right part with the bottom left part, fitting the connections:

2) The next step is to glue the upper right part and the upper left part, fitting the connections:

3) To finish the seat you need to glue the entire bottom part with the entire upper part (to fit the connections you have to rotate the two parts):

It should look like this:

First leg assembly

Take from the "Legs ..." folder the two files with "first part" in it and continue to build.

1) This is also a very simple assemble, you only need to glue the two pieces fitting the connection:

It should look like this:

Formed parts assembly

To do the last part of the guide take all the parts previously built and the remaining ones from the folders (the second leg ones) and finish the project!

1) First screw the right support on the wall (vertically), then connect it (without glue) with the Seat:

2) Now, connect the left support (without glue) to the Seat then screw it vertically to the wall:

It should look like this:

2) Take the two inges and screw them between the Seat and the First leg (leave a little distance from the end of the seat for the screws):

3) To continu, slide the two parts of the Second leg through the hole in the first leg gluing them together (ATTENTION: glue only the two parts of the Second leg fitting the square connection, DON'T glue the First leg to the Second leg):

This should be the result:

Now fill all the holes on the surface of the of the Second leg, Seat and  Supports with the appropriate magnets and your reclinable seat is finished!
