Summary
Brackets designed in Fusion360 to allow custom shelf design. I built a shelf for my office (see pictures) which was a huge hit.

Assembly instructions:
Please note before starting, it is best to assemble the pieces with it laying flat on the floor (like the shelf has fallen over) so that the back support brackets can be attached before standing it up. Without the back brackets, you will not have a very sturdy shelf and any weight added to it will result in tears… yours.
I chose to make a pretty hefty hex grid of shelves as you can see in the picture, but you can modify and make whatever design you want. My support brackets are only designed for the hex arrangement and if you alter, you may need to design and print some brackets depending on your design to help support it. There was quite a bit of printing to get this design. The bigger the shelf, the more you’ll be printing… I used 6 full 1kg spools of white filament by the time I was done.
The wood measurements for me below:
Main shelf length 240mm
Back support strip length 205mm, width 15mm. Orientate so you see the edge towards you.
Baltic Plywood Thickness 1/2 inch (or 12.5mm)
I used 1/2 inch white tipped screws for the construction. You only need to go in one side of the bracket, not both.
Printing the brackets, I decided not to have the top and bottom layers filled in. I chose a honeycomb pattern as it matched the overall design. You will need to experiment with your printer to get the strongest results. I used 9 perimeters, no top or bottom, and 30% infill. I printed on both my Prusa MK3 and MK2s.
Depth of shelf is up to you… I made mine 6” deep, that way I could get all the pieces I needed from 1 4’x8’ sheet of plywood. I used Baltic Birch as it has a nice edge after being cut. Don’t forget about the kerf (thickness) of the blade when making cuts to make sure you get accurate measurements. The depth of your shelf could be at least 8” before needing to print a middle bracket for support.
I stained the back support to give it extra contrast, up to you if you want to do the same.
If you use these brackets and post, please credit me @vfxsoup (for instagram) for my design. Initial inspiration came from looking at a design by martcaset on thingiverse. Good luck, it was a really fun project printing all the parts and putting it together.

Nate’s Head as a Cup 3D Print Model
Summary
I had my head scanned at Makerbot in NYC years ago. I decided to model it onto the side of a cup. I suggest using it as a pencil holder. -
Skookum 18mm pipe side holder for shelving rolled sheet material such as fiberglass 3D Print Model
Summary
Made these to mount on plywood to make a rack for rolled sheet materials: Fiberglass, carbon fiber, protective sheeting etc.
Use M5 screws / bolts to mount. These are skookum as frig!

1.8mm walls. If you feel it is not strong enough make thicker walls / Add infill.
PLA is suitable for this task.
Post-Printing
Might require some minor cleanup with a drill bit.
In my design i used 230mm x 230mm spacing for 2 rows of materials.
It means on first row 460mm between mounting points, and in the middle 230mm deeper is another roll.
Recommend lowest is a bit higher, measure your material and decide which suits you best 🙂 -
