Box Builders - Shelf/Storage/Box/Whatever Building Connectors

This is something I designed quite a while ago and have never shared, as I felt it was something I made for only me and nobody else would use. I acquired a large amount 4ft x 8ft sheets of 6mm thick HDF material. I had no use for them and was trying to figure out what to do with them. That is why I created these connectors. I have built everything from a step stool to a raised water/feed shelf for my Mastiff to closet organizers and the junk shelf pictured. Use your imagination. The X, T, and L bracket are the main connectors you will use. The Top-Back labeled connectors are to add a top, back, or bottom (depending on your configuration) if you desire. The Mid Mount shelf can connect to any box and allow you to drop in another shelf. I printed everything with ABS so it would be a bit more flexible than PLA. I had to use a rubber mallet and tap them on too. I have been using these for probably 6 months and have not yet had one fail, and the stool pictured is quite large, at 16"x16"x16" and I am about 230lbs and have stood on it many times. I used a table saw and cut my material to size then used these connectors. Depending on your material thickness, you may need to scale these up or down. Simply print one to test, then scale as needed. Once you find your fit, you can scale them all that same amount. Enjoy, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

This is a great solution, I have created some shelves for a cupboard in my trailer.

Would it be possible to get a mirrored version; on the short axis; of the mid mount bracket? The way I have designed my shelves the mid mount only works on diagonally opposite corners. I tried mirroring in tinkercad but it ends up as two pieces.

You should be able to just mirror any of them in your slicer with no issues.

What an elegant solution ! Just out of curiosity, would you consider sharing the original files so we can make some remixes? I personnally use Onshape but any step file would do.
