IKEA Skadis Container (Side Mount)
Print Profile(4)
Description
This container is a replica of the original IKEA metal container, designed to mount on either side of any IKEA Skadis board. Measuring approximately 90x80x80mm, it features four sections for easy organization. Additionally, a variant without dividers is included with each print profile on a separate plate. It is compatible to all original boards and DIY boards that follow the same specs. I uploaded a tutorial as PDF file with installation instructions.
This model is available for regular mounting here.
Updates
13.07.2024 | v1.1: I modified the hooks and the stabilizing lip for easier mounting, and I revised the installation guide accordingly. All profiles have been updated.
Printing
It is extremely important to use a durable, slightly flexible material with very good layer adhesion as mounting the holder will put some stress on the holder. PETG is the best choice among popular materials but I did all my tests with regular PLA to make sure it will work too. DO NOT USE Silk PLA, matte PLA or any other kind of material that affects layer adhesion negatively. To increase your chances with PLA you can switch the infill type to lightning or add a modifier only covering the mounting bracket and set it to lightning. This will basically remove all infill allowing the walls to bend effortlessly. For most use cases of the holder, this will not affect the overall performance of the holder. From my experience this was not necessary though.
Installation
- Begin by inserting each hook halfway into the designated holes. Ensure that the slightly thinner part of the hook is fully inserted.
- Start wrapping the holder around the board, keeping the hooks halfway inserted throughout the process.
- Carefully wrap the holder all the way around the board, making sure the hooks remain halfway inserted.
- Once the holder is completely wrapped around the board, fully insert the hooks into their holes.
- Press down firmly on the hooks to fully seat them, ensuring a secure fit, similar to how you would with any other accessory.
Optional: Use this Lock Plug in 10mm to further secure the holder.
