IKEA Algot Mounting Rail Guides
Description
During a move, we lost some plastic parts of our IKEA Algot system. They are used in the installation process to hang and guide the vertical struts, while making adjustments. The main weight is carried by a metal bracket hidden *inside* the plastic part, while the plastic part makes sure the strut does not pop off from the horizontal installation guiderail. Since this part is not subject to a lot of forces, printing orientation seems to not matter as much. I printed the part lying down flat as fell as standing upright, and both of them came out just fine and worked. If I had to do more of them, I would print them standing upright, so the curved parts came out nicer. Pictures show both printed versions (grey) in comparison to the original part (white).
