The one negative thing with IKEA OMAR is that the back and sides are open. This is the solution.
What you need:
- M3 nuts and bolts, 2-4 per clamp.
- Enough 10mm rods / pipes / … for the sides you want to put rails on. I used 10 mm aluminum pipes, which I had lying around in the garage.
Tools:
- Screwdriver
- Something to cut the pipes with. I recommend a pipe cutter.
- Ruler
- Marker
Instructions:
- Print enough clamps. I used 20 mm speed, don't remember the infill, but go for something like 20%.
- Measure, mark, measure, then cut the pipes to size. I recommend going about 5 mm short compared to the distance between the OMAR rods.
- Mount one clamp on the OMAR. Don't over-tighten, you need to be able to adjust it a bit.
- Insert the rod in the clamp on the OMAR.
- Put a clamp piece on the other end of the rod.
- Mount the second clamp.
- Check for height, tighten the bolts.
You might notice that the clamps look different in the pictures. I iterated the design until I found something I reasonably liked, but since there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the older versions I used them to avoid wasting plastic.
