Cube Shelf - Cabinet Doors 35x35cm (+IKEA KALLAX)

With this project, I wanted to decoratively enhance my living room, so I created a few door variations for my cube shelves that I would like to share with you here

 
The doors are stable, functional, and decorative at the same time – ideal for open cube shelves where the contents should be protected but not completely "hidden"

⚠ Notes: 

• I am not a CAD professional, but I strive to publish something decent here! :) 
• Make sure to thoroughly clean the print bed before each print
• if you scale later in the slicer, the magnet pockets will also change – the magnets might no longer fit
• Please check the polarity of the magnets before inserting them; the door stops are quite small, but you can still save yourself a second print :) - I speak from experience.. 

Design Variants

Currently, three design variants are included:

• Lined
• Textured
• Circular Pattern
• perhaps I will make more if I find the motivation. → nothing for you? Remixes are welcome! 

Additionally, I am uploading an empty door template, with which you can easily implement your own patterns (perfect for your remixes). I would be happy if more variants are created! 

To do this, simply mirror the template to the left and down. 

Structure & Construction

Each door consists of 4 individual panels:

• Two panels each are screwed together with a total of 4- M3 screws and the corresponding handle.
• The final stability of the door is achieved by the hinges, which are directly attached to the door.

Print-in-Place Hinges

• The hinges are printed directly with the door (Print in Place).
• After printing, these must be carefully "broken in" to make them movable.
• The typical cracking sound is normal – please proceed carefully to avoid damage. 

Magnetic Door Stop

For secure closing of the door, two magnetic door stops are used:

• Neodymium round magnets 6×2 mm are used
• The magnets are inserted during a paused print
• Door stops and handles are printed separately

Sizes & Compatibility

The doors were initially developed for a cube shelf with:

• 35 × 35 cm inner dimensions

Additionally, pre-scaled versions are available for:

• IKEA KALLAX
  33.5 × 33.5 cm inner dimensions

ℹ️ The dimensions are not parametric but are stored as fixed variants. I am still learning how to properly handle parameters.. :D 

including already considered tolerances. If you are unsure, it's better to trim 0.2-0.4mm from the sides in the slicer. For me, everything fit quite well, but the cubes naturally differ a little. 

Mounting Aid – Drilling Template

Each print profile also includes a mounting template:

• Simply hold it against the cube
• Mark drilling points
• Drill, screw – done

No elaborate measuring necessary.

Assembly

1. Insert magnets during the paused print (This also applies to the stops; the pauses are already stored in the print profile) 

2. "Break in" hinge

3. Screw door panels with handle. 

4. Mark with template as drilling aid

5. Pre-drill and screw.

Have fun with the print!
