IKEA Skadis | Flat & Easy LEGO Minifigure Mount

Note: All dimensions have been designed to work well with a size-and skew calibrated printer. Use the instruction further down to adapt the model if necessary. Do not force anything that does not immediately and easily fit.

General Description

This model is meant to be a fast, easy, and economic print. You can easily print several at the same time.

Insert it at a 90° angle and rotate it. Grip it close to the board to minimize leverage risk of snapping.

Please contact me if you want/need additional variations.

Creating different sizes

Some familiarity with Blender will be required. Leave a comment if you'd use a web-based configurator to help me find the motivation to actually do it.
 

Download Blender from a trusted source (blender.org) and download this model's project file.

Use the skadis_lego_minifig--tester.stl to find out which size fits best with your setup.

First, test which “clamp” fits best by pushing the tester onto one outer side of the Skadis. Stop as soon as you feel resistance and do not push with force.

Then, test which “bridge” fits best by pushing the long, slimming part into one of the Skadis holes. Stop as soon as you feel resistance and do not push with force.

Take note of both measurements.

In Blender, find and enable the “bases” collection.

Next, adjust the bases to fit your measurements. For this, select a base, switch to the edit mode, then change the model.

I recommend enabling “x-ray” to select all vertices you need, as well as the measureit addon.
 

After changing dimensions, export all items by selecting them, then choosing the “selection only” and “apply modifiers” options during export.
