Description

My awesome bracket system for 2x2 lumber - BRCKT!

From my video with Handyman Hal - we used these to 3d print a LEMONADE STAND

I wanted to build with 2x2 lumber and use 3d printing to make the brackets. I didn't find any that would work, so I made my own. I used Onshape to create these once weekend while watching NFL playoffs :)

They take 2x2 lumber, so everything is based on US lumber dimensions.

For the brackets that have lumber go in and stop, it's a 3 inch depth.

The bracket edges are a half inch.

I printed on my Bambu X1C, P1P, and P1S with the brackets on their edge. Use a brim if there is lifting.

Funny thing is I started designing something very similar just a week ago, did you manage to print everything just hanging in the air? I designed mine this far with the 2X2's "standing" at 45 degree angle to remove the "bridges" want to use petg or something else to allow the pieces to be outdoors.

@JoelTelling

Yes! Had everything on the angle!

@daniel.liebst

Unfortunately for me, what we call 2x2s in sweden are 45x45mm. This was only around 37mm :)

@ClausRathberger

maybe my remix will fit for you?

@hybur

Love the design and the video - quick question: will you be uploading the other bracket variations as well? Specifically the 4-way and 90º connector. Thanks Joel!

@JoelTelling

Maybe? Super busy building out the new studio right now. Once I can sit down, I might!

@AddDemiGod

Hey if there's any way I can put in a request for just 1 more variation? I have an idea in mind but I would need a 5-way piece. So 4 coming out like a plus and another 2x2 coming out of the center of the plus. If there is a hack way to slam models together to make one I would love to hear about it. lol

@paulg

You could probably knock that out in Tinkercad without much difficulty. Unfortunately it appears @JoelTelling didn’t share the design in OnShape so others could copy and remix it, didn’t see a link at the video either.
