Description

This 3D-printed shelf bracket was designed using topology optimization - the same process used in aerospace and F1 to remove material everywhere except where force actually travels.

That means:

  • ✅ High strength with less filament
  • ✅ Lightweight but load-bearing
  • ✅ Looks like a sculpted “bone” structure, but it’s fully engineered

🖨 Print Settings (Recommended)

SettingValue
Walls4 walls
Infill20–30% Gyroid or Cubic
Layer height0.2mm (0.16mm for smoother finish)
Screws4.5 mm standard wood screws into wall plugs (there is some leeway)

 

🔧 Mounting Notes

  • Designed for standard wall plugs + screw heads
  • Flat surface means it's compatible with wood, laminate, IKEA, etc.

💬 FAQ

Q: How much weight can it hold?
A: Printed in PLA+ with 4 walls and 25% infill, mine supports a solid wood shelf + objects (10kg). Doesn't seem close to its limit.

Q: Can I scale it?
A: Yes, although this will affect screw fit.
