Side table
**A modular design for crafting a small table. You decide size and shape. ** The parts are optimized to be very robust. I tested and optimized them until the screws would break out of the wood before the 3d printed parts would give in. I stood on my print a jumped a little so it can hold at least 80 kg of weight.
Required parts:
- One print each of the two provided parts for every table leg
- recommended screws for the legs: 3,5 x 20 mm countersunk universal or wood – 3 per leg
- recommended screws for the tabletop: 3,5 x ?? mm countersunk universal or wood (length depends on the thickness of the plate) – 4 per leg alternative diameters that work, too: 3,0 mm; 4.0 mm
- 22mm (7/8” In) round wooden rods in the length of your choice. (I used this diameter because it works for the metric and us system)
- A wooden board of the size of your choice
Instructions (also provided in the images)
- Decide on the size and shape of your table. Th design is for a small coffee or couch table (Mine is 460 x 460 x 340 mm). I have not tested if it works for a full-scale dining table. You can try it out but enter uncharted territory.
- Gather all resources according to the list of required parts.
- Decide on where to place the legs and screw the 3d parts onto the plate.
- Insert the rods and fix the with the screws
- Attach the foot to the rods and fix them with screws (before screwing in the last one – turn around the table and adjust the position a bit to make sure it does not wiggle)
