Skådis Air: IKEA Skadis generator, parametric, lightweight and tileable, with connectors

Make your own: https://alonrr.github.io/skadis-air/. Choose a board, its size and its edges, see it in 3D, and download an STL or 3MF. Everything runs in the page; nothing is sent anywhere.

ℹ In the GIF: a lightened board sized 240 x 200 mm, then split into panels for a 1200 x 800 mm wall, and back to one solid board.

The boards here are 200 x 200 mm, ready to print. For any other size, edge or mounting, use the page.

What is here

• Boards, 200 x 200 mm (fits most printers), in three kinds, the lightened and skeleton boards both Curved and Straight, in a folder for each mounting: countersunk screw holes, round-head screw holes, keyholes, keyholes with lock screws, lock screws (these three on 15 mm standoffs), and none (for slot clips alone); each file's name says what it is:

  • Solid: a plain plate with the SKÅDIS slots, 116 g of PETG for a 200 x 200 mm board.

  • Lightened: open pockets between the slots, a rim kept round each slot, in about 68 g of PETG for a 200 x 200 mm board.

  • Skeleton: every rim and web an I-beam, thin through the middle, in about 70 g for the same board.

ℹ In the GIF: the lightened board on keyholes, turning: its pockets and the rims round its slots, then the four standoffs behind it.

ℹ In the picture: a skeleton board cut open across a row of its members, each cut face an I-beam, wide at both faces and thin through the middle.

• Fit coupon, on the page under Advanced: four slots at four clearances, told apart by dots. Print it first and try a hook in each, to find the clearance your printer needs; the page takes it as "Slot clearance" there.

• Standoff for 1 board at a corner, 2 side by side, 2 one above the other, and 4 where their corners meet: a 15 mm spacer between the boards and the wall (IKEA's are 20 mm), so hooks have room behind the board. The shared ones are a post at each screw hole, joined only on the wall side, as the slot clip is, so a hook fits next to the boards there too.

• Slot clip, 15 mm deep, for 2 boards side by side, 2 one above the other, and 4 where their corners meet, and one for boards whose seam runs between the slots, each with a countersunk or round-head screw, a keyhole, or no fixing: it joins boards behind a seam by pegs in their slots, so it needs no screw holes. It is as deep as the gap behind the boards, so the wall holds it on; ribs on the pegs press into the slots.

ℹ In the GIF: the lightened and skeleton boards, the fit test coupon under Advanced, then the standoff and the slot clip, and back to the solid board.

On the page, beyond these files

• Any size: a wall of any size is split into panels as even as your printer's bed allows, closed round the outside and open at the seams, so the slots run on across them. A print list says how many of each panel to print, and "Download all" gives them in one zip or one 3MF.

• A straighter look: the lightened and skeleton boards come Curved, as here, or Straight, their pockets in straighter lines, with the same edge chamfer, V groove at the seams and mounting.

• Mounting: countersunk or round-head screw holes in the corners, keyholes at the top so the board lifts off its screws, lock screws or tape, on standoffs at the corners or behind the corner slots.

• The slot clip's options: a screw or a keyhole to fix it to the wall, or neither.

• Open sides between the slots: a board's open sides can run midway between the slots, so every slot at a seam is whole.

• Shifted slots: a board's open sides can run through the slots with the grid moved 20 mm, a half slot on the middle of each tile along the side and none at a corner, to join panels from generators that lay it out that way.

• Lock screws: in place of keyholes, a screw through a slot at each corner into the standoff behind it holds the board; every slot still takes a hook.

• A slot clip for seams between the slots: a peg in the nearest slot each side, its bar on the diagonal.

• Tape: for a wall you would rather not drill, the board stands on posts behind its corner slots, each ending in a pad for a piece of double-sided tape, up to 40 mm each way; it has no screw holes, and the page says about what the tape holds. For light things.

• Standoffs held by nuts or wood screws: the standoff can hold the boards by an M3 to M5 nut in each post, pulled into its seat from the wall side, or by a wood or PT screw cutting its own thread, and stand on tape or a foot screwed to the wall.

• Printers: 30 printers' beds by maker, or your own.

ℹ In the GIF: the top and right sides ticked closed, the open sides moved between the slots, and back.

ℹ In the GIF: standoffs at the corners, keyholes, the board seen from the back, lock screws, tape, then the front again, countersunk and without standoffs.

Printing

• Print each file as it comes: the boards face down, so the front is the smooth side on the bed; the connectors wall side down. No supports.

• Any filament, and no special settings; the files were checked with a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layers.

• Screws: 4 mm countersunk, with an 8 mm head, for every hole, the lock screws too; the page takes one screw size for them all, or a size of its own for each kind of hole under Advanced. A board's corner screw passes its 5 mm and the standoff behind it, 20 mm in all with the standoffs here, plus your wall plug; a slot clip's screw passes its 7 mm bar, plus your wall plug.

• The SKÅDIS slots are 5 x 15 mm on a 40 mm grid with a second grid set 20 mm across and up, and the board is 5 mm thick; every number and its source is in the repository's notes on the standard.

Feedback and requests

This is a new design, and I’d love to hear how it works for you. If you print one, leave a comment or post a Make with a photo: how it printed, how it sits with your SKÅDIS hooks, what you hung on it.

Want something the page doesn’t make yet, such as another board pattern, a connector, a way to mount it or your printer’s bed? Tell me in the comments, or open an issue on GitHub. Suggestions are welcome 🙂

Made in the open

The generator is programmatic, and its source is on GitHub: https://github.com/AlonRR/skadis-air. The skeleton board's idea, rims round the slots tied by beams, follows Ultra Light SKÅDIS Board - Parametric, itself after Azat's board; its geometry is new.

These files are public domain (CC0). The files you make with the page, and anything you print from them, are yours to use, change, share or sell, with no conditions from this project.

Updates

2026-11-09 · v0.12.0

• Open sides can run through the slots shifted, the grid moved 20 mm, to join panels from generators that lay it out so.

• A board that moves from keyholes, lock screws or tape to a corner screw keeps its standoffs, at the corners.

• A greyed option says what to change, and a refused size marks the field to change.

• With a test print chosen, the Board list gives way to its name and a way back.

2026-10-31 · v0.11.0

• "Mounting" in place of "Screw holes", with Tape in it, and the standoffs at the corners or behind the slots.

• A board on tape stands on posts behind its corner slots, so a larger piece fits, up to 40 mm each way.

• A setting that does not apply is hidden.

• On a phone, the Sides control stays under the 3D view as the form scrolls.

2026-10-31 · v0.10.0

• "What to make" is Board, Wall or Connector: Wall makes a wall of panels your bed takes.

• The Sides control draws the board as you set it, and the form runs Look, Open sides, Sides, the screw holes and standoffs, then the size right above the screw size.

• With keyholes or lock screws, the standoffs stay on: "None" is greyed out, with a note saying why.

• Standoffs for double-sided tape, 19 x 19 mm pieces on 18 mm standoffs unless set, and a line on what they hold.

• The standoff connector can hold the boards by nuts, or by wood or PT screws, taped or screwed to the wall.

2026-10-29 · files

• Every board at 200 x 200 mm for every mounting the page offers, in folders, and the Straight look too.

2026-10-28 · v0.9.0

• A Look for the lightened and skeleton boards: Curved, or Straight, in the straighter lines of the first boards.

• Each board's plastic is given in printed grams, sliced in PETG.

• One screw size for the boards and the connectors.

2026-10-24 · v0.8.0

• Between the slots, every corner keeps its screw, moved in where it would land on a slot.

• A setting that does not apply is greyed out.

2026-10-23 · v0.5.0 to v0.7.0

• Keyholes take a countersunk screw, and print without lips sagging over air.

• The test prints are under Advanced, and each setting's help is folded behind an "i".

2026-10-22 · v0.4.2

• First published.
