Ikea Antonius leg adapter

thingiverse

So I decided to build myself a relatively cheap workbench using Ikea's Antonius line of furniture. I saw that they had a nice little rack system for drawers, a 4 ft table top, and a set of legs and I thought Perfect! Bought two sets of everything planning to make an 8ft bench with lots of storage underneath. When I got them home to assemble them, lo and behold even though they were from the same system they were not designed to play nice together or at least the way I wanted them to. The shelf units were designed to only work with the short top that only covers the top of the unit. The legs were designed to work with the table top but were designed to work with a wall mount system that I was unable/unwilling to use. My answer was to drill out the holes needed to attach the bases and screw them down. Then print off these adapters to allow the legs to be attached anywhere you want them. There is two sets of holes in each leg for attaching the wall mount leg section so I appropriated them to attach this adapter. You can use one or both. I included both for strength. The adapter needs to be attached to the underside of the table top before attaching the leg. I just got my Prusa finished so haven't had a chance to print these off yet but they should work. There is two versions. One with a flange so it can be screwed down with 4 screws and one with a single screw hole in the center of the adapter. I wasn't really sure which one would be best. Will print and test them both when I can. Instructions Needed per 4ft bench: 2x Printed adapters 1x Antonius Frame -101.776.30- $10 1x 4ft Antonius counter top -001.048.18- $20 1x pack Antonius adjustable legs -101.909.76- $15 Drawers of your choice -Various- For the drawers I went with 2 wire drawers and 1 deep plastic drawer. If you use the shallow plastic drawers you can have a total of 4 drawers but I wanted the deep ones. Measure the spacing for the holes on the frame and drill accordingly. Attach adapters at your choice of location at other end of counter top. Screw counter top to base and attach legs to adapters. Use nice new bench! Personally I created a mirror image of this set up so I had nearly 4 feet of open space in the middle broken only by the legs with racks for storage at each end.
