Metal Shelves Corner Connector (Gorrila Shelf Repair)
Don't forget to ❤️, add to a collection, and follow SUNA for more fun creations!
I bought some shelves from Costco and they were missing a corner connector. With a set of calipers and OnShape, I was able to whip up a replacement and get it printing while I finished assembling and installing the shelves. This allowed me to finish same day with minimal interruption thanks to taking stock of parts before I started and having the ability to quickly create a replacement with a little reverse engineering. I hope this helps someone else and I included the STEP file in case there's any desire to modify this for any reason.

PRINTING:
- Print it from something tough - No PLA here!!
- For best results, print from the 3mf file
- Printing at an angle on a raft with dialed in supports yields the best results for a shape with no ideal flat surface to print on
- Print it 100% solid by cranking shells/walls up to ~10
