Description
Version 1 of these shelves (https://www.printables.com/model/134832-bose-companion-2-speaker-wall-shelf-shelves) has shorter sides such that the cantilever dips 1-1.5mm. Â They hold up for at least 10 months in service but I wanted to make some improvements. Â The longer sides provide a better support for the cantilever while still angled to minimize visually. Â I've also created shadow lines, improved the screw holes, and used one large hole for wires so one model is used for left and right speakers.
Version 2 is just an extension of the side. Â Version 3 incorporates connected letters to form the sides. Â Version 4 embosses the sides with those letters. Â I've not measured any cantilever dip upon initial use of these models. Â Version 3 is the only model needing supports to print.
I printed with 0.2 quality with PLA. Â I used an infill of 15% which is a reduction of the original model where I thought more infill would prevent cantilever dip. Â The shelves take some time to print at about 12-15 hours for each shelf on an Mk3S+ or an MK3S+ (MMU2S modified).
Because of the print time and the large base of each shelf, I sometimes ran into issues of corner lifting with some combinations of filament and printer without changing other printer conditions (1 out of 4). Â If this is an issue, you could try printing with the back down, different filaments, addition of a brim, or other printer conditions like varying table temperature.
