Summary

The shelf was originally designed to be screwed into the wall. However, I ended up using it as a hanging shelf. To attach it, you will need fishing line or another strong thread. Black or transparent options are ideal as they do not obstruct the view of spices or other items. Additionally, you will need 50 mm cardboard edge protectors, which can be cut to the length of the shelf.

To attach the shelf to the wall, you will need 2 screws. The bottom holes are optional and can be used to attach a string for hanging other shelf elements.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 screws for wall mounting
  • Fishing line or strong thread (black or transparent)
  • 50 mm cardboard edge protectors (5mm thick)

Sustainability was a key consideration in this project. I sourced my edge protectors from a business where they would otherwise end up in the trash, using them as the base for the shelf. I also aimed to reduce plastic usage in the 3D-printed components, which are not designed to be very massive. This means there is a limit to how many elements can be hung in series, which varies depending on the items placed on the shelf.

When printing the components, use the mirror function in the slicer to ensure you get matching pairs.
