Description
Small shelf/riser for my bedside table. I designed as a riser for my CPAP to open up some surface space on my nightstand. This could easily be adapted for other uses.
Base is 9.5in (240mm) deep, 5.5in (140mm) high. Shelf depth is 6.67in (170mm). Shelf slats should be 20mm x 20mm with 1/8 inch round over on all 4 edges. The shelf in the image is 14 inches (355mm) wide, but you can make it as long or short as you want. I included a center bracket for longer spans, but printing it will require supports. I cut my slats from scrap Mahogany that I had in the shop and finished with dark antique wax, but any hardwood and any finish you prefer should be adequate. I don't recommend pine because longer slats will flex under weight and it's prone to dings and scratches.
You will need 1/2 inch wood screws for assembly, and I suggest 10mm rubber feet to reduce slipping.
I printed in PETG on a textured PEI plate, with fuzzy skin on for outside contours to create a nice textured look and feel.
The side hook prints in 2 pieces and is CA glued together with the assistance of 2 alignment pins. It easily snaps on and off the side rails and is designed to fit on either side of the shelf.
This is marked Work In Progress because I plan to add a charging cable holder that clips to the side and possibly a few other accessories as time allows.
