Description

Here is a steampunk style shelf support bracket. The model consists of pipe pieces just like metal ones, but without the cost! The only tricky part of the assembly is getting the final pipe in the triangle in place. To do that I first made sure any remnants of the brim were removed from the end of the pipe. Assemble two sides of the triangle. but don't turn the pipe all the way in. Then take the last piece of pipe and screw it all the way into one end, swing the other end into place and screw the pipe into it. Finally, adjust the pipes as necessary.

@3DCustomWorks

looks awesome! as someone who installs these parts for a living I would recommend putting a union somewhere in the design for a significantly easier assembly. wouldn't look as clean, but would prevent people giving your design a low rating even though it is in fact pretty cool

@3DCustomWorks

or possibly better yet, make one piece reverse thread to help with assembly

@gary.oldefendt

Thanks for the ideas! If people would read my description they'd have a lot easier time putting it together. Unlike real pipe, the threads aren't tapered. So screwing one end in all the way and then backing it out into the other end can be done by hand without much effort. I'm an arthritic old man and don't have any problem doing it.

Hello Your design is great. But I had a lot of trouble in assembly. I have an easy way to do this. Related to printer settings. During assembly Some pieces broke.

@gary.oldefendt

Did you use the method for assembling it that I describe in the instructions?

@user_3317343831

too bad it’s not in pieces for your own custom designs

The designer has replied

@gary.oldefendt

It is individual pieces. Check the file downloads.

Replying to @gary.oldefendt :

sry just saw pics didn’t read

@user_363666486

Could I ask what filament you have used as I was looking for some in that bronze colour?

The designer has replied

@gary.oldefendt

It's Bronze Bambu Basic PLA.

This was the most difficult to assemble and annoying project. pieces kept breaking because the angles you have to screw them in at are so awkward and difficult. do not print this

difficult to assemble

@gary.oldefendt

Did you try it the way I explain in the description?

(Edited)

@RustyDuck

If you use it as a shelf, what type of shelf material would you recommend? If you anchor it to a stud, how much weight will it support?

The designer has replied

@gary.oldefendt

I attached to a stud, but I don;t know how much weight it will hold. Shel material is up to you. I'm toying with the idea of making one that can be printed and assembled to look like a metal mesh.
