Needed a tool drawer thingy but nothing I saw online was the right size. Ended up buying some serving trays from IKEA and printing this rack for them. Ended up going with PLA, seems strong enough. 4 perimeters with a 0.6mm nozzle.
Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know?

This is definitely one of those, "I dont have access to a tablesaw" prints. I feel you, I've got no room for one either.

You can build things without a tablesaw...a simple jigsaw and a spirit level as a guide gets you good results for straight cuts, just a little slower.
With some practice a regular saw will even get you good results for simple things like this.

Or a circular saw.

Tbf, 2.6kilos of bulk china PLA is probably cheaper than the sheet of plywood and glue+screws it would have taken to build that.

Yeah, and a lot less time, likely, too. CADing that would be pretty quick.

Impressively large print, but I would've probably just built this in plywood or MDF.
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 102d
Yeah that would have been cheaper lol

Hah I'm not even sure, even cheap materials like plywood have gotten expensive
pageflight@piefed.social · 3 pts · 102d
Cheap materials like pieces of the IKEA furniture my neighbors are throwing away?
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 102d
That more like an item than a material I would say...

When I first saw this I assumed these were baking pans and admired the bravado to assume no one would ever slide one in there whilst hot.
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 101d
They pretty much are baking pans. IKEA sells them as "serving trays".

Most of the hardware/home-improvement stores near me offer to cut the wood they sell to size.
I probably would've gone that route, and then print the tracks for the trays. And screw those into the wood.

Why not make the tracks out of wood as well, its just square pieces
autriyo@feddit.org · 2 pts · 102d
They usually have a minimum size, and I was trying to avoid sawing at all.

or angle iron/aluminum.
I am really impressed by the quality of print of this, I have tried 3d printing a bunch and am constantly impressed by what folks (not me) can get out of these machines.
At the same time I am confounded by what people choose to print. This geometry is waaaay simpler quicker cheaper to achieve without 3d printing.
also I can't get this output, so...

A table saw is not really needed for this sort of thing. A router with straight edge guides would work for dados for the shelves. Technically you could CTL with the router too, if you didn't have a circular saw.

Well I have a 48" x 32" CNC but it lives about 20 minutes away from me.
wjrii@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 102d
nm 🤣
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 102d
CNC'ing it would have taken more of my time and effort tho

What printer did you use?
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 102d
Bambu H2D. I bought it before the most recent shitty thing they did.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 102d
Loaded question nowadays.

One single print or assembled? What printer did you use? I'm fascinated. I've wanted to make big storage for my bigger hobbies but I have a small printer.
papalonian@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 102d
Use your small printer to build a slightly larger printer, and then use that printer to build a slightly even larger printer. Then print this

And half of would’ve been used for the supports.
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 101d
No supports. I printed it with the rear facing down. The trays stick out the back a little bit, it's basically a giant square tube.
Psiczar@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 101d
Nice! I should’ve thought of that.
