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 lost shelf support, a missing cap over a screw or a plug for the end of a furniture tube is a small part that is hard to buy in the right size. We make a 3D model of one to your measurements: a shelf support whose pin fits the hole in the side panel, a cap over a screw head or an empty hole, or a plug for a round or square tube. You give the hole's diameter or the tube's inside size, the depth and the visible part, 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 versions of the size that fits. A printed support is usually weaker than a metal one, and strength is not guaranteed. 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. Each size variant lies beside the others, so one print tests them all.
  • Shelf supportsA pin sized to the hole in the panel and a ledge for the shelf
  • Caps and plugsOver a screw head, into a hole or into a round or square tube
  • Fit variantsFrom Standard, 2 or 3 pin or plug sizes side by side to find a snug fit
  • Rounded edgesSoft edges and chamfers on the visible side, from Standard
  • Printing adviceWhich side down, supports, layer height, infill and material, in the README

How it works

  1. 1
    MeasurementsYou measure the hole or the tube, and the old fitting if you still have it
  2. 2
    3D modelWe build the 3D model and check that it is a closed solid of the sizes you asked for
  3. 3
    Test printYou print the variants and try them in the hole
  4. 4
    ChangesIf it sits loose or tight, you say by how much, within your package

What we need from you

Which fitting you need and where it goes. For a shelf support: the diameter and depth of the hole in the side panel, the thickness of the shelf and how far the support should stick out. For a cap: the size of the screw head or hole it covers and how high it may stand. For a tube plug: the tube's inside diameter or inside size, its wall thickness, and whether it is round or square. All in mm, ideally measured with a caliper. A photo of the old fitting or the place it goes, with a ruler next to it, and how many size variants you want to test.

We will ask you:

  • Which fitting, and for what furniture?
  • The hole or tube it fits into, in mm
  • The visible part, in mm
  • Your printer and material

Questions and answers

Will a printed shelf support hold my shelf?

We cannot promise a load. It depends on the material, the infill and how the part lies on the printer, and a printed pin is usually weaker than a metal one. It suits light shelves; for books or heavy things, use metal supports.

What if the pin is loose in the hole?

Print the size variants from the Standard package and keep the one that sits snugly. If none fits, measure the hole again, say by how much it is off and ask for a change within your package. We never guess the hole size: if it is missing, we ask.

Can you copy a furniture brand's fittings?

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

Can the cap have a pattern or my initials?

No: the 3D model has no lettering, logos or decorative patterns. The shapes are geometric: round, square, rounded edges, chamfers. Text can be added later in a slicer or a 3D editor.

Do you print and send 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.
