Hemnes drawer support / Schubladen Stütze

thingiverse

I have 2 early version of the Hemnes cupboard (3 and 5 drawers). These didn't have the supporting elements that were introduced later, so they can hold heavier stuff. I had a drawer that always feel through, as too heavy stuff was put inside. Instead of begging Ikea to hand me out the supporting elements even though i have an older version (which they might or might not do) i designed an alternative. You need to print these 2 elements (easy print, just make sure the alignment is printer friednly, no further instructions needed), get a 10x10mm aluminium rod (available for cheap from the department store) and cut it to 43,2cm. Then stick on the 2 elements and screw them into the drawer (use a countersunken screw with a diameter of 3 or 4mm and a length of 20mm max). Hope it helps you as much as it did for me :-)
