Description
These are building blocks for a shelf for glasses of our favorite brand of pickled cucumbers.
By attaching several of them, you can build a shelf of almost any size.
And even better: You can change the size of the module to match the size of whatever glasses are standing around in your kitchen, in case they are not from Hengstenberg.
This system has solved a very real problem:
My wife had the habit of storing just about everything in these glasses, but the growing number of them made handling increasingly difficult. And the look was questionable at best.
Using the shelf, the caps of the glasses remain invisible. Instead one can easily see what's inside through the former bottom of the glas.
Since the cutouts are slightly tilted downwards, the glasses will not fall out and slide back in place if the shelf is moved.
The modules are held together by connectors. You might have to change the size of the connector slightly depending on your printer's charachteristics. By using separate connectors, playing around with the connector parameters won't waste a lot of material (that was a lesson I learned from the first single-piece design).
On top of this economic consideration, you can also print the connectors in a different color, which looks pretty nice :-)
For this you can hide either the connector or the module in the parametric design using the "enable_.."-Flags.
