Universal fridge shelf

Hi,

I created universal fridge shelf, 29 cm depth.

All you need (except 3D printing) is 3 pcs of a rod or tube, 8 mm in diameter. Good and cheap material is Aluminium tube/rod, garden plastic rod (my case - 185 cm plastic/fiber rod in local garden store for 1,8 €). Please do not use corrosive material. Lenght depend on how wide inside your fridge is.

My AEG Santo 60 cm wide fridge is inside 52,5 cm wide. I reccomend to have tube/rod 1 cm shorter than is your wide fridge inside. So in my case 51,5 cm is optimal. You will need 3 pcs of rod. Good size for printed parts (2× endparts, spacers and shelf parts) is 0.5 cm shorter than your fridge is insife wide. In my case, 52 cm is OK.

Plastic rod I bought is very strong and flexible. I estimate the load capacity of the shelf to be 10 kg. The rod will certainly not break, but the bending will be big.

Pieces you need to print depends on shelf wide:

• 2x End parts (Left + Right)
• several shelf parts
• a lot of spacers, maybe different lenghts.

In my case i printed:

• 2x 30mm End parts (Left + Right)
• 12x shelf parts
• 33x spacer 16,5mm
• 6x spacer 20mm

The test end (yellow in the photo) can be used for lenght testing.

Shelf parts and spacers are easily attached to the bar. The tip must be inserted (lightly tap with a hammer) to the End part to create a solid shelf.

My end part (AEG Version) has push-in stop at the end. I prepared variation with / without push-in stop.

Print settings:

I printed it with Prisament PLA White and Galaxy silver.

Layer 0.2, 3 perimeters and 20% infill.

Recommend to use this print orientation:

If you need another size of shelf piece or spacer, just change the dimension in slicer ;-)

Happy printing!
