Description
Sick of stuff everywhere? I created the Kaizen Pegboard as a completely customizable, 3D-printable answer to expensive pegboard systems like IKEA's SKÅDIS®. It's all about giving you ultimate flexibility with that clean, minimalist look we all crave.
The name Kaizen is a Japanese term for "continuous improvement," and it's the core principle of this project. I am constantly working on refining print profiles and model construction details. The Kaizen Pegboard was created to be a better solution than existing options—a precision-engineered system that offers 100% compatibility with the extensive SKÅDIS® accessory ecosystem, providing a sturdy and infinitely customizable system with its unique accessories. With your help, feedback, and suggestions, I am dedicated to making it even better.
Print What You Need, When You Need It
Print exactly what fits your space and your needs.
Everything you need to build your system:
One simple assembly tool (the only tool you'll need)
Basic Set Configuration: The included printing profile is designed for a 3×3 panel setup (9 panels total). All the required fasteners, connectors, and mounting hardware are pre-calculated and included in the profile, so you don't need to figure out quantities yourself.
Heads up: Building your first Kaizen Pegboard system takes some patience, but it's worth every minute!
Quality Takes Time: My priority is still quality over speed—I want to make sure you get a reliable, durable print. But I know that faster printing is important. I continually refine my printing profiles to optimize print times without compromising quality. The current settings prioritize precision and surface finish over speed because every tolerance matters for that perfect, hardware-free assembly.
Current print times:
I'd love to hear from the community on this! If you experiment with faster printing settings and get good results, please share your print profiles. Let's optimize this together!
For optimal performance, I strongly recommend using different materials for different components:
Why PLA is Essential for Panels: Through extensive testing, I discovered that PETG panels warp significantly during printing due to thermal stresses. PLA's minimal shrinkage and excellent bed adhesion ensure perfectly flat panels.
This material combination ensures your panels look great and maintain perfect dimensions, while the structural components can handle repeated assembly/disassembly and long-term use.
I spent countless hours designing, testing, and refining this system because I wanted something better than what was out there. This isn't just another 3D model dump—it's a precision-engineered system that actually works.
Every tolerance has been dialed in for perfect, hardware-free assembly straight off your print bed. Minimal cleanup, maximum satisfaction.
I didn't just copy the original IKEA design—I improved it. The Kaizen Pegboard is sturdier, cleaner looking, and gives you 100% compatibility with the massive SKÅDIS® accessory ecosystem.
This is the beginning. I am actively expanding the Kaizen Pegboard ecosystem with:

Your feedback is crucial to making this system even better. I continuously refine the design based on the needs of real users.
------------------------------------
I'm just getting started with the Kaizen Pegboard system, and I need your help to take it to the next level!
Share your thoughts: What panel sizes would be perfect for your space? What accessories are you missing? Your comments and suggestions directly influence what I design next.
Spread the word: If this system solves a problem for you, share it with your maker friends! The more people using it, the more motivated I am to keep expanding the ecosystem.

LAST UPDATES:
Print profiles updated! Decreased filament usage and print times:
160x160 - 79.8g, 3h13m => 66.73g, 3h1m
240x240 - 179g, 6h49m => 146.9g, 4h42m
Thanks for being part of this journey. Together, we're building something that actually makes our maker spaces better!
