IKEA Kungsfors Mount for Top Shelf

Idea

After installing a few IKEA Kungsfors racks on my kitchen wall, I noticed that the hooks on the bottom were sometimes a bit hard to manage when something was placed on top of the rack. Also, the top surface isn't smooth, especially when you pair a few racks side by side. I wanted to mitigate that by placing a wooden sheet on top of the racks and fasten it down with a few 3D-printed brackets.

Printing

The print is quite simple, no supports and enough brackets to secure your shelf; I went with four per rack, one in each corner. Probably less would do, especially when the racks are placed side by side, but I like the cohesive look. Printed in PETG, standard settings and 3 perimeters.

Other parts

When measuring I noticed each rack was 80 cm wide and 30 cm deep with a bit room behind it, so I opted for an overhang of 1 cm to each side. I went with a 15 mm thick wooden plate, which was filleted on all edges, sanded and treated with food-grade oil for wooden work surfaces.

I designed it for two 3,0x35 mm countersunk screws each, which then protrude 10 mm out into the wooden piece.
