Example result

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 knob or a handle for a drawer, a cabinet door or a box lid, made to fit the screws and holes you already have. It can be a round or square knob, a bar handle on two posts, a handle with a hexagonal pocket for a nut, or a backplate that covers old holes. You give the screw size, the distance between the hole centres, the thickness of the door or drawer front and the size you want, 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. The shapes are geometric: no carved, floral or figurine knobs and no lettering. Strength depends on the material and the printing, and a printed handle may soften near heat. We do not print or ship handles.

What is included

How it works

  1. 1
    MeasurementsYou measure the screws, the hole spacing and the door or drawer front
  2. 2
    3D modelWe build the handle to those sizes and check that it is a closed solid
  3. 3
    Try itYou print it and try it on the drawer with your own screws
  4. 4
    ChangesYou send what to change, with measurements, within your package

What we need from you

What you need: a knob, a bar handle or a handle with a backplate, and what it goes on. The screw you will use: its diameter and length, and the nut if there is one. For a bar handle, the distance between the centres of the two holes. The thickness of the door or drawer front. The size you want: the knob's diameter and height, or the handle's length, height and grip width, in mm. A photo of the old handle with a ruler, or a sketch with sizes. Whether it is near heat, such as a stove or a radiator.

We will ask you:

  • Knob, bar handle or handle with a backplate?
  • Your screw and hole spacing, in mm
  • The handle's size, in mm
  • Thickness of the door or drawer front
  • Your printer and material

Questions and answers

Will the handle fit my existing holes?

Yes, if you give the distance between the hole centres and the screw size: we build to those numbers and never guess them. Measure centre to centre, ideally with a caliper, and print a test piece. From the Standard package, the file has versions of the screw hole to test.

Can the knob look like a flower or an animal?

No. We make geometric shapes only: cylinders, blocks, rounded edges, chamfers, grooves. No figurines, sculpted shapes, lettering or logos.

Is it strong enough for a heavy drawer?

We cannot promise that. Strength depends on the material, the infill and how the handle lies on the printer, and the README gives advice on them. A printed handle can soften next to a hot stove or in strong sun.

Can you copy a handle from a well-known brand?

We do not copy branded or patented products. We can make a handle of the sizes you need in plain geometric shapes, for your own furniture.

Do you print it?

No. You get the files and print the handle yourself or at a print shop. We do not sell or ship anything, and we do not edit an STL you send: we build from your sizes.
