This is a modular 3d printed shelf that connects multiple different segments together through the use of magnets. Its a design you can put on your desk to store small objects such as models, pencil holders, and other small things youd need on your desk.

Supplies

Slice the files in your 3D Printing program of choice (I used PrusaSlicer, Cura works really well too.) and make sure you slice it to YOUR printer using 15-20% Infil. After slicing, print 1 Base.STL, 2 Shelf Top.STL, 1 Base Shelf.STL, and 1 Shelves.STL.

Assemble

  1. Slot the Shelf Top into the Triangular Pillars on each of the shelves, apply adhesive beforehand - Dry for a few hours
  2. Insert Magnets into the 4 circular holes on the top AND bottom of the magnets, apply adhesive beforehand. - MAKE SURE TO INSERT THEM IN A WAY WHERE THEY STICK! - Dry for a few hours
  3. Insert base into the shelf with a hole in the middle, then the other shelf should stick on top of that one.

And You're done!
