Overview

A stylish and practical shoe rack that can grow vertically to suit your needs. Each level holds a pair of shoes! Additional levels can be printed and slotted on top.

The angled design means the rack does not have to be as deep as a rack where the shoes lay flat, and so makes efficient use of space. It also allows for high-ankle shoes to fit.

A three level rack can be printed on just two plates.

Assembly is simple, the parts should just snap together as per the assembly instructions below.

I'd love to see your results / colour combinations, should you take the time to print.

Printing Notes

Checklist:

• Supports enabled (Normal / Default / 20°)
• The correct support material selected

The model is spread over two plates. The first plate, which contains everything needed for a pair of shoes, comprises:

• A base, two feet and a finial (to tidy up the top riser)
• One central riser section
• One pair of shelves

The second print plate allows the rack to extended by two levels (i.e. two more pairs of shoes.)

• Two riser sections (same design as plate one)
• Two pairs of shelves

So, by printing two plates, this provides everything needed for a three-level rack, holding three pairs of shoes. If you wish to go higher just repeat prints of plate two.

The larger elements are all designed to be printed on edge, to minimise the number of plates. It is therefore important that you are able to use a plate / material combination that provides good adherence to the plate. The supplied profile is tested for the Bambu Lab X1. It uses the Bambu cool plate + Bambu PLA Basic, but successful prints were also achieved on High Temperature Engineering Plate + Bambu PETG-HF.

FYI, specific areas are marked in the profile, where supports are required, or prohibited. Supports are only required for the lower parts of the print (i.e. up to around layer 130, of a total of 1100+ layers.)

The user can obviously select per-part print colours, but in the interests of keeping the print times down, it is recommended that only a single colour (+ support) is used for any given plate. So, where multi-colour prints are wanted, simply cut and paste a whole plate for each 

colour required.
