IKEA SKADIS invisible desk mount / table clamp

A minimalistic table clamp to mount Skadis flush to the table top, 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. Washers are recommended.

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. But regular PETG or PLA should work as well.

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 Prusa Slicer/Orca Slicer/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.
