Skadis BILLY Hinge

Hi there!

Here's a hinge to mount your Ikea SKADIS Board onto the Billy Bookshelf, allowing you to open it to the side whenever you'd like to access the Shelf's content.

Since I didn't have much wall space for easy access to the Skadis board, I decided to attach it directly to the Bookshelf. The design isn't finished yet—I'm making further refinements as I further test this.
I would also recommend to print the end stop, as it provides stability when “closed” and some gripping power to the shelf

To mount the board to the hinge, you'll need this mounting system

Thanks to this project for the hinge design I used. 
If the hinge feels stuck after printing, just apply a bit of force to free it up.
 

Printing instructions:

Enable Supports (I went with tree supports) and add more walls, I used the BambuLab "0.2mm Strength" Profile. 
Make sure to orient it like in the last image—that’s really important. I tried a few other setups, but I couldn’t get the hinge to break open without everything else snapping off.
I used PLA; I’m not sure how other materials perform, but PLA is strong enough and won’t bend as long as you have the end stop supporting the whole board when it's “closed”.

Hardware you'll need:

- 3x M2 screws and nuts per hinge
- 2x M4 screw to boost the clamp strength to the Billy Shelf
 
 

Hope this helps!
