Tool-Less IKEA Burhult Shelf Brackets

5 Jan 24 -  Added .step files, modified clamp thread, and made the overhang style ends more stable.

My partner asked me to design some feet/brackets to fit the IKEA Burhult shelf she purchased, and of course I wanted to over-engineer it. In my haste, however you'll notice the diagonal portion is situated in a less than ideal orienation on the clamped leg. It has since been fixed and the left leg (when viewing from seated position) is correct.

There are many options to choose from here. The clamp will likely not prevent the shelf from moving/sliding under high amounts of force, but it will keep it in place when setting objects atop. If you encounter some issues. I'd suggest using the clamp for one of the legs, then any of the others for the other side.

I may yet try to improve the design, but I think it's in a good spot to call it 'done' for now. To further prevent slipping, thin rubber or silicone pads can be used on the bottom of the brackets.

Rafts:

No

Supports: 

No

Resolution:

0.15 - 0.2

Infill: 

10%+

Filament: Any ABS, ASA, PLA Any

Notes:

Due to the size of these brackets, you may need to bump up the bed temp a bit to prevent warping as well as use a brim.

Print with at least 3 walls and 10% infill. If you want, you can go up to 5 walls and 20-40% infill depending on the weight of the objects you'll be placing atop.

All objects can print without supports. Just put them on the flattest side. :)
