Example for the Standard package

A shelf bracket with countersunk screw holes

The bracket from two sides

Seen from above

The shelf leg from above

Size: 24 × 60 × 60 mm, one part. Files:

  • model.stl and model.3mf;
  • model.obj, model.glb and outline.dxf;
  • model.js, with the legs, the hole positions and the screw sizes at the top;
  • a README.

The README suggests printing it on its side so the layers run along the legs, in PETG with 40% infill and 4 walls. It is a bracket for light shelves, and its strength depends on the plastic and the printing.

Client: someone who needed one more bracket like the ones under their kitchen shelf, to the same size. Task: an L-shaped bracket with 60 mm legs, 24 mm wide and 5 mm thick, with a rib in the corner and two holes per leg for 4 mm wood screws, countersunk so the heads sit flush.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A 3D model of a foot, a glide or an end cap for the leg of a chair, a stool, a table or a cabinet, so the leg does not scratch the floor or slide. It can slip over the leg, go into the end of a round or square tube, sit flat under a leg that leans, and have a pocket for a felt pad. You give the leg's outer or inner size, its shape, its angle if it leans and how thick the foot may be, in mm. You get a ZIP archive: STL and 3MF to print, OBJ, GLB, a DXF outline, the code with the sizes at the top, a README with printing advice and pictures from four sides. From Standard the file holds 2 or 3 leg sizes to test the fit. Strength and wear depend on the material. We do not make risers, leg extensions or anything that holds the leg together. We do not print or ship parts.

What is included

  • What you getA ZIP archive with model.stl and model.3mf for 3D printing, model.obj for 3D editors, model.glb for viewing on the web and in augmented reality, outline.dxf with the outline seen from above for CAD and laser cutting, model.js with the main sizes as named numbers at the top, a README with printing advice and 4 PNG pictures of the 3D model from four sides, also shown on the order page. Size variants and a separate sole lie side by side, ready to print.
  • Over or into the legSlips over a solid leg or into the end of a round or square tube
  • Legs that leanThe sole follows the angle you measure, so it sits flat on the floor
  • Room for feltA shallow pocket for a felt pad of the size you give
  • Fit variantsFrom Standard, 2 or 3 leg sizes side by side to find a snug fit
  • Printing adviceWhich side down, supports, layer height, infill and material, in the README

How it works

  1. 1
    MeasurementsYou measure the leg end and its angle to the floor
  2. 2
    3D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
  3. 3
    Try itYou print the variants and try them on one leg
  4. 4
    ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

The furniture and the leg: solid or a tube, round, square or rectangular. The leg's outer size in mm, or for a tube plug its inside size and wall thickness, ideally measured with a caliper. If the leg leans, its angle to the floor, or a photo from the side with a set square next to it. How thick the foot may be. Whether you want a pocket for a felt pad, and the pad's size and thickness. The floor: wood, tile or carpet. A photo of the leg end with a ruler.

We will ask you:

  • What furniture, and what kind of leg?
  • The leg's size, in mm
  • Does the leg lean?
  • Felt pad and floor

Questions and answers

Can it raise or level a short leg?

No. We make thin feet and caps that protect the floor, not risers, extensions or wedges that raise or level furniture. A chair holds a person, so a part its height or strength depends on is safety-critical, and we do not make it.

Which material should I print it in?

The README gives advice for your floor and use. A softer, flexible plastic grips the leg and is quieter; a harder one slides more easily. Wear depends on the material and the printing, and we cannot promise how long a foot lasts.

What if it is loose on the leg?

Print the size variants from the Standard package and keep the one that sits snugly. We never guess the leg's size: if it is missing, we ask. If none fits, measure again and ask for a change within your package.

Can you copy the feet of my chair's brand?

We make a replacement for your own furniture from your measurements. We do not make copies to be sold as the brand's original parts.

Do you print them?

No. You get the files and print them yourself or at a print shop. We do not edit an STL you send either: we build a new 3D model from your sizes.
