Kallax Shelf Peg Jig

prusaprinters

<p>This is a jig I to help add peg holes to your Ikea KALLAX shelf. I assumbled my KALLAX without a few of the dividers, which allowed for larger shelf areas. Those dividers can then be used as shelves to split the regular 33cm x 33cm shelves in half, for smaller objects.</p><p>The jig is designed to hook onto the floor of one of the shelves and provide a spot to drill a hole where the new shelf peg will go. &nbsp;Since the Kallax shelves are 33cm (330mm), the shelves are 16mm wide, and assuming a 5mm peg hole, the template provides a hole at (330 - 16 - 5) / 2 = 154.5mm above the lower shelf. The shelf should evenly divide the 330mm space into two 157mm spaces (accounting for the space lost to the shelf itself).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hook the jig onto the lower shelf and press it against the wall. with a 5mm drill bit and an appropriate stopper (I just used tape to mark where to stop), drill an appropriate hole for your pegs.</p>
