Fully 3D Printable Display Shelf
I want to have display shelf, but off the shelves glass cabinets are typically too cramped for my liking.
So I decided to try designing display shelfs using 3D printed parts and acrylic plates instead
Technically speaking, glass is possible, but in DIY context, drilling into glass would be very complicated so I end up going mostly with acrylic or PC
Supplies
As stated with the title, you will need:
- 3D printer
- 3D printer filament, PLA is fine
- Acrylic plates
- 1 stiff foam sheet (if you decide to replace 1 of the acrylic plate with white foam sheet)
- lots of M3 screws and nuts of varying sizes

Print and Assemble the Pillars
We need 2 set of ORI and MIR pillars for 1 level of display shelf
"ori" types can be assembled with 3 parts: pillarB-ori, pillarT-ori, and pillarM-ori
"mir" types can be assembled with 3 parts: pillarB-mir, pillarT-mir, and pillarM-mir
Use M3 screws and nuts to bolt the parts together
Print and Assemble the Shelf
We need the front part and the back part
front segment can be assembled with 3 parts: shelfF-ori, shelfF-mir, and shelfM-ori
back segment can be assembled with 3 parts: shelfB-ori, shelfB-mir, and shelfM-mir
Use M3 screws and nuts to bolt the parts together
Print and Assemble Shelf Door
We need 5 parts for the bottom gate including the hinge, and 3 parts for the top gate
There should be exactly 5 parts with "horiDoorBtm" in the name for the bottom part
and exactly 3 parts with "horiDoorTop" for the top counterpart
Use M3 screws and nuts to bolt the parts together
Cut and Drill Holes Onto Acrylic Plates/stiff Foam Plates
We need total of:
2 x Vertical Wide (1 of which can be substituted for foam instead of acrylic (easier to slice))
1 x Vertical Narrow
1 x Door (door is designed for 1mm acrylic plate)
1 x Horizontal (bolt to the shelf)
for each level
Extra - 1 More Level That Split 1 Shelf Into 2
We need 3 parts for each side of the 2nd level:
1x2ndlevelPillar-ori, 1x2ndlevelPillar-mir, 1x2ndlevelBridge
