Description
Been moving into a new place, and I keep finding things that don't quite fit. These can all be fixed by fabbing small parts! ABS fabbed pieces have tremendous compressive strength -- with 0.3 infill grids I've tested mine past 180kg with no permanent deformation.
- The 26x19mm spacer holds my closet shelving rails away from the wall, since the tops are screwed into a 3/4" board the previous owner mounted. The centers are sized for a #12 screw, which in my case is a #12x2 driven into the studs.
- The 28x12mm spacer mounts my TV to my entertainment center, fitting around four bolts driven into the VESA mount on the back. It spaces it just enough to run cables (and use up the full length of the spare bolts I had).
More to come as I finish the house.
