Description

IKEA Tingby is meat to be a rollable side table, but it is also a super stury yet very simple element to build with. with a footprint of 50x50 cm and a height of about 40cm (without the rollers, we dont need them) it is a very good fit to place a 3d printer on it, in my case the X1C. It is visually appealing, and in contrast to most other IKEA builds not prone to vibrations.

 

The rollers are essential for the construction, so you have to replace them with very standard M8x50 screws. These screws fit into the 3D printed feet from this profile and you put them into the Tingby instead of the rollers. And voilá, you got a very nice rack that does not try to escape.

Even better when you take two Tingbys. you build both of them with the 3d printed feet instead of the included rollers, turn of of them upside down, and connectd the feet with the 3d printed connector cylinders. Very, very simply, very sturdy. So you can bring the whole rack to a nice height of about 82 cm, which is pretty perfect to put a printer on top, and having still a load of storage room under it.

 

No supports, fast and super easy print. I printed mine in PLA+, and it does easily hold the printer and all accessoires with ease. In my case printed with 6 shells and 25% grid infill.

 

For only one Tingby you can delete 4 of the feet as well as the 4 connectors, and just print 4 feet.

 

To assemble one Tingby with feet you need 4x Hexhead screw M8x50 mm. To assemble the combo for a nice height you'll need 8 Hexhead screws M8x50 mm in total. Also you might want to add some felt pads, as the lower tingy has to be upsaide down, and you want to protect the surface.
