This OpenSCAD script is designed to create a custom gridwall shelf system that’s super adjustable to fit your needs. It includes a shelf, hooks to hang it securely on a gridwall, and two triangular side supports for extra stability. Everything’s parametric, so you can tweak the dimensions, change the number of hooks, and even add an optional recessed area if you want to reduce material.

 

This was designed for 3" gridwall systems.

 

*You will need to download the Gridwall_Hook.stl file as well as the openscad file as the openscad imports the hook as a dependency.

Purpose:

The goal of this script is to give you a versatile, easy-to-customize shelf that attaches to gridwalls using hooks. Whether you need something for retail, organizing at home, or displaying at markets, this script lets you dial in the perfect dimensions for your setup. It’s modular, meaning you can adjust the design easily, like playing with support thickness or the spacing of hooks.

Key Features:

1. Customizable Shelf Dimensions:
   • You can adjust the width, depth, and thickness of the shelf using the parameters shelf_width, shelf_depth, and shelf_thickness. Basically, make it fit exactly what you need.
2. Automatic Hook Placement:
   • Hooks are placed based on the shelf width and the spacing between hooks. The script automatically calculates how many hooks you need and centers them for a balanced, functional look.
3. Strong Triangular Supports:
   • The triangular side supports keep everything stable. You can control their thickness using support_thickness, and they’re placed flush with the sides, so no matter how thick you make them, they’ll always align perfectly.
4. Optional Recessed Shelf:
   • If you want to lighten the material load, there’s an optional recessed area you can add. Just toggle include_recess to true, and it’ll cut a neat recess into the top of the shelf, leaving a 5mm edge all around. This is good to stop anything from sliding off the shelf, but will require supports most likely.

What You’d Use This For:

• Retail Displays: Perfect for creating sturdy, customized displays that attach to gridwalls in shops.
• Home Organization: Works great for organizing tools, gear, or anything else on a gridwall system in your garage or office.
• Market Booths/Exhibitions: If you’re setting up a vendor booth and need a portable, strong, and customizable shelf system for your products, this is your go-to.

This script gives you full control over how your shelf looks and functions, while keeping it structurally sound and easy to tweak.
