Shelf for Micro Fridge

thingiverse

I have a tiny fridge that uses a pelletier junction to cool its contents. It works in the car and can also be plugged into regular 110v AC. It fits 6 typical beverage cans quite nicely - four on the bottom, standing up and two on its shelf - or four cans standing up, and a couple of sandwiches on the shelf. My problem is that a certain energy drink has cans that are taller and skinnier than your usual Coke/Pepsi cans. The fridge has slots that the original shelf -- the white one in the pictures -- fit into, to hold it in place. So, here's my solution: I made a new shelf that uses the slots in the frisge, but sits 10mm higher. That leave enough room for 4 taller skinnier cans to stand up on the bottom and two taller skinnier cans (or a couple of sandwiches) to lie down on the shelf. I didn't notice, until I started printing, that it isn't quite symettrical. That won't interfere with functionality, but if someone is a perfectionsist, they may want to remix it a bit. I haven't been able to try it yet -- my fridge is at work, in my office and the building is closed for the week. I'll post updated photos when I put the new shelf in the tiny fridge. OK, so I tried it in the fridge and it works but it's kind of loose, so I made a shim that improves the fit. If you printed the original and you find it's loose or wobbles, you may also want to print 'Fix for micro Fridge shelf.stl' - this is the shim that will tighten the fit. Slide it in on the left side, after the shelf is in place.
