IKEA Shoe Cabinet Drawer Guide/Stopper Plug

I bought and old IKEA shoe cabinet (probably an old version of the Hemnes cabinet) to remodel it into custom one that better fits into the room. While the cabinet was in a good general shape, many of the little plastic plug that guides the drawers were worn out and the drawers were a bit loose.

So I decided to model a reinforced replacement with a broader flange that I could screw into the cabinet to give the drawer a stable guild. I used 3.5x18mm wood screws to secure the new plug.

I decided to add the bolt that goes into the pre-drilled hole in the cabinet, so that I do not need to think about finding the right position, although it means that I need to print with support (or alternatively, print in two parts that need to be glued together).

For my print, I have chosen PETG, as it more flexible than PLA. PLA would probably also work, but I have not tested it. It is important to use enough perimeters to ensure the strength of the part. I printed with 5 perimeters and even more for the flange part (see the attached .mf3 file). I used organic-style supports, which I find more easy to remove than the normal support structures. Layer height does not matter too much, my prints are with 0.20mm.

Note that more recent IKEA shoe cabinets use a different kind of plug (IKEA Part 116713), which is secured with a screw. I believe that my model works as well with these cabinets, but I have not checked.
