Mainstay (Walmart) Printer Farm Table Connectors

thingiverse

I noticed a LOT of Ikea lack table designs but I do not have an Ikea where I live. Walmart sells a similar table by Mainstays. I looked at one or two designs and decided to make my own take on it. Here you have extended legs if you have a tall printer, as well as not extended legs if you do not need/want the extra height. I also incorporated something else I haven't seen yet. I have 3 printers so I want 3 towers, but I think the towers are strongest when supported by each other. I created double brackets that mount two separate tables together by one bracket. Now, each table is supporting itself and the table next to it as well. It should at least double the rigidity of your printer farm setup! Beware! The taller stands do take a LONG time to print. But worth the effort for a good printer cabinet. Make sure to print with a 5 layer wall count as well as top and bottom layers. You want this to be as strong as possible. It does not require a lot of infill however. Always the more the better but these already take a long time to print. I would use a Cubic infill. It provides support in all directions. v2 Has thicker sidewalls. I noticed some weakness in the first run. I felt it better to overdo than under do them. v5 Countersunk the screw holes. Removed 3rd hole from bases. Screw holes now angled 22 degrees since you cant get a drill all the way to 90 degrees. Re-aligned screw holes so that screws dont hit each other when being drilled. I added a Nylon Tube bracket for guiding filament to your printer. It does not require drilling holes in the table. The guide mounts to the back or sides of the table and a nylon tube brings the filament to your machine.
