Bedside table from Prusament spool upcycling

prusaprinters

<p>This model allows you to upcycle your empty Prusament spool into a bedside table. The hole in the middle is useful for the cables of your phone charger.</p><p>It snap fits so i recommend using PETG to allow a bit of flexibility when you snap it into place.</p><p>The model fits the width of the Ikea Brimnes wooden panel (24mm) but i provided the source so you can adapt it for your own. Or let me know what width you would like to have so i can provide one for you.</p><p>How to print it:</p><ul><li>I recommend using PETG, haven't tried PLA though</li><li>it is designed to be printed on the side. It is not symetrical so make sure you orient it on the face as shown in the screenshot: both sides are <strong>not</strong> equivalent.</li></ul><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:29.68%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/199313/rich_content/e062739e-2cfb-4b3c-a1ce-2042a4235e3b/capture-decran-2022-05-08-a-200643.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%228bb94acd-f338-4243-a920-9c8017cd52fa%22%2C%22w%22%3A1298%2C%22h%22%3A1618%7D"></figure><ul><li>use a 2mm brim to ensure good bed adhesion, as the contact surface is small and the model is tall.
