IKEA SKADIS invisible desk mount / table clamp

Boost MeYour support is much appreciated. Thanks to Boosts, I can order filament and create and share more designs. I only share prints that I have thoroughly test-printed.

 

A minimalistic table clamp to mount Skadis flush to the table top. It is a remix of Vornia.Product clamp but modified to be much more minimalistic, basically invisible from the front.

 

Installation:

You need at least 4x regular M5 screws, any M5 screw between 10 mm and 36mm in length works. Two screws per side are sufficient, but you can use three screws per side for maximum strength and least wiggle.

 

Supports table tops up to 36 mm in thickness.

 

The holes are placed in a way that allows some wiggle room (see gif) in case you want a gap between table top and skadis or if your table top isn't 100% flat.

 

 

Printing:

I printed it with white PETG-GF (Glass Fiber) from Tinmorry, which is actually much stronger than regular PETG, PLA and even most carbon fiber filaments.  My Tech Fun did a comprehensive test of this filament.

 

Depending on your filament and printer calibration, the M5 screw cap can be too tight. I recommend experimenting with the “User Customized Offset” setting in Bambu Studio under Quality > Precision. Default value “0” should work, if the cap is too tight, you can set it to a negative value like “-0,2” or something.

 

Dimensions:

• Clamp height: 147 mm
• Clamp width: 50 mm
• Clamp depth:
  • 68 mm under the table top
  • 58,5 mm at the top of the clamp, above the table top
• Max. supported thickness of table top: 36 mm
• Max. overall height: 186 mm
