Ikea SKADIS Round Parametric Bucket

Ikea SKÅDIS Round Parametric Bucket

Overview

This OpenSCAD script enables you to create customizable round buckets for the Ikea SKÅDIS Pegboard. Whether you need a sealed bottom for a functional container or open-bottom rings for holding tools, this script provides a versatile design tailored to your needs. Inspired by the IKEA SKADIS Add-Ons: Parametric Bins and Shelves from JuanG (Model No. 799571), this model brings the same level of customization to circular shapes.

Features

• Customizable Dimensions: Adjust bucket height, diameter, and wall thickness to suit your specific requirements. 
• Optional Bottom Closure: Toggle the "Close Bottom" parameter to switch between buckets or open rings.
• Multi-Purpose Functionality: Use as storage buckets, mini plant pots or holder rings.

Parameters

• Dimensions:

  • bucket_diameter: Set the overall diameter of the bucket.
  • bucket_height: Define the height of the bucket.
  • wall_thickness: Specify wall thickness for durability.

• Base Options:

  • close_bottom: Boolean parameter to toggle a closed or open base:
    • true: Closed bottom for a functional bucket.
    • false: Open bottom, turning the model into a ring.

How to Use

1. Modify Parameters:

   • Open the script in MakerWorld with the customize function or OpenSCAD.
   • Adjust parameters like: bucket_diameter, bucket_height, bottom_thickness and wall_thickness to match your desired design.
   • The default Hook Parameters for the dimensions are tweaked for the painted (white) version of the Skadis Board. If you are printing for the brown non-painted SKÅDIS Board consider tweaking these for a better fit. (I couldn't test if the default values work with the unpainted version since I don't own one).
   • Toggle close_bottom for a bucket or a ring.

2. Save and Render:

   • Save your changes in OpenSCAD.
   • Generate the 3D model by rendering the script.

3. 3D Print:

   • Export the STL file and load it into your slicer.
   • Important: Enable Tree supports.

Recommendations

• Print Strength: Use 100% Infill on the Hook area.
• Supports: Enable tree supports for hook and extra support overhangs.
