Eurobox Modular Craft Table Legs or shelf for AUER 60×40 Bottle Inserts

Summary

Modular Craft Table Legs for AUER 60×40 Inserts (5-Level)

Turn AUER 60×40 cm bottle/glass inserts into modular table legs and vertical storage for your craft supplies.

This design uses 3D printed links and simple screws to stack the inserts into stable columns that can support a tabletop while keeping all the cells usable for paints, brushes, bottles, and tools.

If you want printer-specific starting temperatures, speeds, and retraction values before you begin, check the 3D Printer Filament Settings database.

What This Design Does

• Stacks up to 5 inserts into one leg/shelf column.

• Printed connectors lock the inserts together so they don’t slide apart.

• All compartments remain usable for:

  • Paint bottles and jars

  • Mediums, varnishes, glue

  • Brushes, markers, knives, tools

  • Any tall, bottle-shaped items

Stacking Limits

This model is only designed and tested for 5 inserts in a single vertical stack.

If you want a taller shelf/leg:

• Place a second Eurobox with inserts on top of the first box.

• Use the notched connector twice:

  • once at the top of the lower box

  • once at the bottom of the upper box

• This joins the two boxes into one taller leg while keeping the load mostly on the insert walls and box edges.

Fasteners

The joining pieces are held together with standard screws:

• M3 × 12 mm screws

• They self-thread directly into the printed plastic, so no nuts or inserts are required.

• Just line up the parts and drive the M3 × 12 mm screws into the provided holes.

• The joiner might be too tight depending on your printer settings. If so, lightly sand the notch edges. If the fit is consistently too tight or too loose, work through this 3D printer calibration guide before scaling parts.

Compatible Inserts

Designed for AUER Kisteneinsätze für Eurobehälter 60 × 40 cm (bottle / glass style inserts).

Choose the compartment pattern that fits your supplies best (paints, bottles, tools, etc.).

Print Settings (Suggested)

• Material: PETG or PLA+ (PETG recommended for toughness)

• If you are printing in PETG and want a solid starting point for temperature, speed, and cooling, see Best PETG 3D Printing Settings Guide

• Layer height: 0.2 mm

• Perimeters: 4 walls

• Infill: 40–60% (grid or gyroid)

• Supports: not needed for most parts

Assembly

1. Print the required connectors and notched joining pieces.

2. Use the connectors to clip two inserts together.

3. Fix the joining pieces with M3 × 12 mm screws (they will self-tap into the plastic).

4. Build your leg column insert by insert, up to 5 inserts high per leg.

5. Repeat for each leg under your tabletop.

6. Optional but recommended:

   • Add braces between legs (back or sides) to reduce wobble.

   • Use cleats or non-slip pads between the top inserts and your tabletop, or screw through printed cleats if you want a fixed setup.

Customization & Remixes

• Adapt the connectors for other 60×40 bottle inserts.

• Add clip-on holders for power strips, cables, or tools.

• Design drop-in cups for small items inside each cell.

If you remix this for different inserts or a different table setup, please share it. I’d love to see how you extend the 5-insert leg concept.
