Thanks for checking my print out!
Step files and Fusion 360 file also available under downloads!
Cheers!
I designed and 3D printed cabinet doors for IKEA shelves.
They don’t require any screws, utilize print in place hinges, and have a magnetic closure.
A great IKEA hack and fun way to personalize your IKEA KALLAX shelves. Magnets used were 6x3mm The exact ones I used were: (affiliate link)Bambu also sells the same sized magnet which can be found below For the slat doors, it is using Bambu’s Wood PLA Clay Brown.For the translucent doors, it is using Bambu’s Translucent PETG.Both are linked below. CREATE YOUR OWN DESIGNSI’ve uploaded the Fusion 360 file to help you make your own designs or doors to fit your shelves!I’m still new to cad design so please don’t judge me too hard on file structure or constraints and I apologize in advanced for if anything breaks while updating parameters 🙈 The components that make up a cabinet are:4 Beams4 panels that make 2 doors4 hinges (These hinges should be exported with it’s corresponding panel to be printed in place)I will use the Kallax shelf as an example for each of these parameters you can modify.The Kallax shelf dimension is 13.25″ x 13.25″ (336.55mm x 336.55mm)h = height of shelf dimension, w = width of shelf dimension panelHeightThis will be the size of each panel height and you have to take the thickness of the beam (10mm) into consideration when calculating:(h/2) – 10Kallax example: (336.55/2) – 10 = 158.275mm panelWidthThis will be the size of each panel width:w/2Kallax example: 336.55/2 = 168.28mm dovetailTolThe tolerance between the dovetail joints.I found that 0.05mm worked best for my Bambu X1C and Prusa Core One but it may be different for yours. Tip: Best way to test the fit is to print just the beams and hinges (without the door panels) There are other parameters in the file but I would not advise using them as I may have abandoned using them midway. I hope this all makes sense lol.Please tag me in your creations on socials, I’d love to see them!! @joshmakeshift
