Kallax Desk Bracket Smoothizer

thingiverse

I have a Kallax shelf/desk combo that I use for my home office - and I love it. But I don't love the metal bracket that holds the desk to the shelving unit. So I printed out three types of covers that make the otherwise obtrusive metal more usable. * v1 - this is just a few squares that will make it so that the profile is a rectangle instead of the original, weird three metal square thing. Honestly, this was just an artifact from my prototyping... but hey! if it helps, enjoy! (Note that this can be used as a "hole" shape to make anything else fit over the bracket * v2 - this shape leaves the metal still exposed, and looks sort of like a face. I thought that it the surface would be flat enough to put a headphone stand on it without being wobbly. I was mistaken. * v3 - This is what I'm using now - basically v2, but with a slightly larger footprint to accommodate my headphone stand. For printing, if you're going with a lighter filament, you may want to up the infill. I noticed with my white PolyMax that I can pretty clearly see the infill lines. This was my first go at designing something completely from scratch, and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out! Calipers were essential to make sure my sizing was correct, and I used Tinkercad to help make the design a reality.
