Expandable shelf bracket

September 26, 2023
Description
I needed a shelf bracket with a depth of at least 35 cm that can securely hold a weight of 10 kg. Since it's apparent that such a product doesn't exist here, I have developed a shelf bracket myself and am sharing it with you.
The extensions are modularly designed, allowing a shelf bracket to be assembled at lengths of 20, 30, 35, and 40 cm as desired.
You need to print these parts for each bracket at the following lengths.
see picture | depth | bracket | extension a1_200 | extension a2_100 | extension b1_150 | extension b1_200 | extension b2_200 |
1 | 20 cm | x | |||||
2 | 30 cm | x | x | x | |||
3 | 35 cm | x | x | x | x | x | |
4 | 40 cm | x | x | x | x | x |

Just the bracket without extensions.
Picture 2
Slide extension a2_100 and a1_200 into the bracket holder. You may fix them with small screws.
Picture 3
First, slide extension a2_100 and a1_200 into the bracket holder, and then slide the two extensions shown here on top of them. You may fix them with small screws.

First, slide extension a2_100 and a1_200 into the bracket holder, and then slide the two extensions shown here on top of them. You may fix them with small screws.
Printing information
Layer height: 0.32mm (0.6 nozzle); 0.20 (0.4 nozzle)
Infill: 15%
Perimeters: 3 (0.6 nozzle); 4 (0.4 nozzle)
Support: none
Brim: recommended for printing the bracket
Important: When printing the bracket, the entire height of the print area of a Prusa MK4 is used. Therefore, you should not have anything attached to the printer's cross frame that limits the print height.
I am looking forward to your Makes! :-)
