Description
When I was newer at 3D printing, I printed this under-cabinet KitchenAid accessory holder I found on MakerWorld. But the spacing was tight. I had to flex pieces to make them fit. Which led to broken pegs.
So I remixed the model a bit to widen the base. Still, I kept running into the broken peg issue.
My self-taught Fusion skills have improved considerably since that early remix, but unfortunately the original model designer has changed their license to a more restrictive one, and I can no longer just remix it.
What's a boy with calipers to do? Why, take measurements and rebuild from the ground up, of course!
V2 of my accessory holder has the following features:
Print with 6 perimeters for additional strength. Could also use PETG or stronger materials. I also printed with 0.16 layer height, but that's probably not necessary, and 0.20 would probably be fine.
Print the peg flat (not upright) with the little retention nubbin pointing up at an angle (see pics). This should keep all parts of it strong and prevent the need for supports.
