Ikea Milsbo Shelf Brackets Extended & Improved

Ikea Milsbo Shelf Brackets Extended & Improved

Description

Extended shelf brackets for the Ikea Milsbo glass cabinet. Corner and straight brackets. About 2" long, with three holes for zip-tie anchors. Allows you to use 26" Rubbermade wire shelves without purchasing any parts I found that the existing brackets were way too small, and Milsbo > greenhouse conversion guides online told you to screw a metal L bracket against glass, which seemed reckless to me. So I designed these extended brackets which mirror the backs of the stock brackets. They screw directly into the Milsbo cabinet with the existing screws (M4-0.7). With 5 points of contact on your shelves, these should be strong enough to hold plants. I tried to snap one and couldn't. If you print at high infill it should be extremely sturdy. But I printed mine at 15% and they're holding my shelves up just fine. You'll want to print 4x corners and 1x straight per shelf. Sorry the design is so janky; I don't actually know how to 3D model. I 3D scanned the stock brackets, and then mashed a wedge onto the front in TinkerCAD. If you have suggestions for improvements let me know, and I might turn another version. And if you have anything else for the Milsbo you'd like to see, and think an idiot could design, let me know and I might try it. I set the CC license so that you're welcome to print, remix, adapt, and build upon the design. But you can't sell it commercially, nor any remixes, adaptations, or derivative works. If you build a significantly better version please let me know!
