These shelves fit Ikea Galant cupboards. You can probably stack them up to 5-6 levels easily. Everything is very sturdy. You do not have to use the same shelf size.
Print the legs with 20% infill. I used Fiberlogy Impact PLA, PETG would probably work too.
The legs are 200.5mm long to allow for variable Plexiglass accuracy.
For each 'level' you will need
- 4x legs
- 4x Ruthex M5 inserts (RX-M5x9.5)
- 4x 35mm M5 Allen screws
- 4x M5 washers (7mm diameter, optional)
- 1 Shelf 18mm thick (9mm would probably work and be much lighter), dimensions 800mm x 450mm with 4 holes, centre of each hole is 15mm from shelf corner edges and is 5mm diameter (I have ordered mine online, cut, drilled, with edge stripes attached, exactly as on the photo)
- Plexiglass panels, 2mm thick, you will need 2 pieces of 745mm x 200mm and 2 pieces of 395mm x 200mm (optional)
- Some clear epoxy glue
Panels are optional if you do not have a lot of dust flying around. However, they do add a lot of strength to the whole construction.
At the top you can place 4 caps.
The assembly process is fairly straightforward:
1. Print
1. Place the inserts
1. Don't burn anything
1. Screw the legs to the shelf, do not forget washers
1. Put a little glue in the Plexiglas grooves (I used 2cm wide spots near the top and bottom of each leg).
1. Place the Plexiglass panels in the groves
1. Allow the glue to cure
1. Profit
If you are printing multiple levels, the top legs will cover the screw heads of the lower level.
