An organic shelf that “grows” from your wall. If you need a small shelf for anything you want to make visible every day (like your favorite Benchy or a small plant) this is the one for you. This one is is a combination of three 3d-scans of real fomes fomentarius that I found in the forest. Yes, it is upside down! Those grow the other way round.

Versions

• Fomentariusfungus_shelf_default: The default size
• Fomentariusfungus _holder_default: the holder for the default size with a screw-hole diameter of 5.5mm
• Fomentariusfungus _shelf_small: A mini version (60% scale)
• Fomentariusfungus _holder_small: A holder for the mini version – simply scaling down the default version would make the holder unusable
• Fomentariusfungus _shelf_no_holder: The Shelf without the cut-out intended for scaling down below the mini version – must be mounted with glue or tape
• Fomentariusfungus _holder_for_upscaling: If you want a huge version, scale up the default shelf and use this holder – the only difference is the screw-hole size of 3mm that will be usable when scaled.

Instructions

• Print the shelf and holder
• You can either screw or glue it onto your wall. There are various glue or tape products for wall fixation out there. I used 3M Tape. Old fashioned screws and dowels are the most reliable fixation.
• Insert the shelf by moving it horizontally onto the holder until the holder is completely inside the cutout. Then proceed to move the shelf down and the holder locks.
• Enjoy!

Instructions fridge magnet Magnet required: a 20 x 2 mm neodymium magnet

Internal magnet The internal magnet shelf file has a cutout inside to place a magnet during the printing process. All mushroom wall shelf designs have the cutout at the same height – so you can print all of them at the same time.

• Use a copper nozzle for printing (nonmagnetic)
• Slice the file and check the layer height of the last layer before the bridging over the hollow cutout starts. With a 0.4mm nozzle it should be at layer 15. Implement a pause after that layer with your slicer.
• Start the print
• At the pause insert the magnet and continue printing. As always be careful with magnets and electronic parts!

External magnet

• Print the file
• Glue in the magnet after the printing process – the cut-out is sized to let the magnet stand out just a bit
