Description

I made these wall mounts because I couldn't find my primary desire in any available designs - that is, RETENTION. I wanted something that would hold the dry boxes in the mount, while still being very easily accessible and removable. I've done just that with this design! Please check out the short video below that goes through the features and benefits! Thanks for checking out my model!

✨ FEATURES

✅ RETENTION - Boxes click into place, yet are easily removable.

✅ Reinforced Screw Mount Holes - 100% Infill around screw mount holes (via modifiers in 3MF Profiles) ensures maximum mounting strength. Thanks to user cj24 for the feedback!

✅ Direct (screw) mount or Sy's Peglock mount - Mounts can be mounted via screws (I prefer GRK Cabinet Screws), or to pegboard using Sy's Peglock system. More info on Sy's Peglock system can be found here: https://www.printables.com/model/249871-sys-peglock-locking-pegboard-system. Sy's Peglock integration used under the CC 4.0 License (no personal affiliation).

✅ Concave Rail Profile - This concave profile is a perfect match to the convex profile of the dry box tabs. This more evenly distributes weight, reduces point load stress, and serves the added benefit of forming a shallow pocket for the box to rest inside (in addition to the retention).

✅ Flexible Print Orientation - Print profiles provided for printing either standing up, or laying flat. Note, I recommend only printing the Sy's Peglock versions laying down due to potential bridging issues. If that can be managed on your end, no issues printing standing up!

✅ Dowels to connect adjacent mounts - This allows the mounts to be more stable and in general appears cleaner as all mount arms stick together.

✅ Single Mount and Dual Mount Offered - And both fit on the A/P/X series print beds (excluding A1 Mini).

✅ Fits the PRAKI 4L boxes found on Amazon - Also works with virtually all other wide-lid Cereal Containers. Note there are skinny versions as well, but most in the community do not like them as they pinch the spool, deforming the box a bit and making it impossible to feed filament from the box. The ones I have can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJY42KHD

⚙️ Printing Considerations

Overall, these print profiles are very forgiving. I've printed these laying down, standing up, 2-4 walls, infills from 10-35%, gyroid, 3D honeycomb, adaptive cubic, grid, and locked-zag infills, and frankly there seems to be very little difference between them. Grid is fast, filament efficient, and seems to be perfectly suitable with 2 walls to hold a full spool and desiccant in a box. As far as materials, I printed all prototype and proof of concept pieces in PETG - it is more resistant to fatigue, and is still plenty stiff to hold a full box. You could also use ABS if you wanted to go a little overkill. I'd personally not recommend PLA (many people do it without issue) but the fatigue potential of PLA prevents me from recommending it for parts that will be under habitual load with many load/unload cycles.

Great work with this one! I originally planned to use a simple shelf for my "cereal containers", but your design was so well thought out (thanks for the video BTW) that I gave it a try. I agree that the "click" when the storage box locks into position is very satisfying, and I feel confident the containers aren't going to slide out. A few suggestions for improvement: - The provided profile uses quite a lot of plastic. I managed to shave off about 50 grams on the "double version" by using much less infill, and the mount still feels perfectly sturdy. - The screw holes are a bit close to the edges. It would be easier to drive the screws if they were moved slightly closer to the center. - I printed slightly wider dowels for a tighter fit. It's much easier to mount and level the pieces when they are tightly attached. If you added a hole for one more dowel, it would also keep the whole assembly completely straight (when I connect two or more of these, the combined unit bends a bit).

@Obsessed

Thanks for the feedback! What infill % did you use that seems perfectly reasonable still? How much closer to center do you feel would be ideal? And a third hole, in the center between the original two?

@user_2471017462

Replying to @Obsessed :

I printed with 7% Sparce infill density and Gyroid infill pattern + Bambu PETG HF.

@user_2471017462

Replying to @Obsessed :

I think the holes do not need to move much to give Makita and other such tools some space... maybe one centimeter max?

these are awesome. be careful screwing in tho. over screwing or screwing the wrong spot can crack it... ask me how I know. made that mistake on the first one and didn't do it again!

The profile uploader has replied

@Obsessed

Thanks for the feedback! On previous designs (not this one) I've put modifiers in around the screw holes to make them 100% solid infill. I'll look to do that here as well so they won't crack even if you get a little over-zealous. Thanks for the honest feedback and the rating! I'll adjust those print files tonight to give them 100% infill, likely a worthy enhancement. I appreciate it!

thanks for the shoutout! I printed a few more as I am an addict for buying filament I don't really need.... they printed great again!

@CivilSamurai

I have been searching for that magic word...RETENTION! Glad I found your design, I really appreciate the simplicity of that rear catch. For my particular installation I will need to mount these under a shelf instead of to the back wall. Would that be an alternate model you would be willing to explore? If not, I hope to have time this weekend to try and tinker. Just thought I'd mention it as an idea, and had to give you credit for the great model!

The designer has replied

@Obsessed

Should be a pretty easy adaptation. Is there a specific hole spacing you'd prefer? I can look at the design and see how I might go about doing that. Need doubles and singles? Or just singles?

(Edited)

@CivilSamurai

Replying to @Obsessed :

Ahhh, I see what you're saying. Currently the containers sit kinda low in the holder and the top mount will need that extra height. For my application, I'll have 4 in a row but no reason it couldn't be 2 doubles. Or even 4 singles. I appreciate any attempt you make, but if it doesn't work out no problem. I'm about 2 weeks into using Fusion and could easily throw together some sloppy looking chunk of plastic that'll screw to the shelf LOL.

This will soon take over as the premier wall organizer for this type of dry box system. Simply the best execution of it that I came across. Printed easily in horizontal orientation on H2D, might try the 'standing up' orientation too. Went with PLA as a testfit and will now print about 8 of the double mounts with PETG. If (better said: when) your model takes off, maybe you could consider designing interlocking beams that connect vertical rows, to improve overall rigidity.

The designer has replied

@Obsessed

Thanks so much for the boost and for the kind words Joris! I'm glad you like it! I still plan on making an under-shelf mounted option as another used requested, and I'll look into these vertical interlocking beams as well! Great idea for increased rigidity and also helps with spacing!

This mount is extremely well designed and super easy to print. I printed four of the doubles and three singles to fill in the wasted space below my shelves and it allows me to "hang up" eleven more boxes of filament. The mounts look really good printed in Bambu black PETG-HF.

Love this! Thanks so much for sharing! I appreciate the boost!
