JUMBO LACKet: IKEA LACK BRACKET FOR RIGIDITY
Description
Remix of the first LACK. I noticed that the bottom set of legs was kind of flimsy and they're kind of just free to spin as they please. I know that there are braces for stability out there but I wanted to think a little outside of the box insettad of just printing 8 flanges for the bottom 4 legs. I extended the bracket model. This will retro-fit with the previous hole pattern but please be aware their is a top side to this. The model has a tiny indentation on the inside to mark the top side. Definitely feels more rigid now with these on. *************************************************************************************************** EXCERPT FROM ORIGINAL Not a new idea. Just came across several projects where people are using cheap IKEA Lack side tables as 3d printer storage. I saw lots of projects for full on enclosures but honestly I just wanted some connecting brackets so that I could trust this thing wasn't going to fall apart. when I wasn't looking. I stumbled on a few designs for just the bracket while perusing the internet but I wanted something that I knew was going to be sturdy so I took some measurements and threw one together with my own flair. I may have gone a little overkill but all-in-all I enjoy the asthaetic. I'm using 1 inch #10 pan head Construction screws that I got for $2 at home depot and drilled 1/8" pilot holes. The screw holes are countersunk so they should sit more or less flush. Printed mine in PLA with 20% infil, 10% seemed a little week.
