<p>&nbsp;</p><p>TODO:&nbsp;</p><ol><li>design wall mounted bases</li><li>Design some sort of “top” so that the top of the shelf doesnt look unfinished&nbsp;</li><li>More custom shelves for your unique cases!</li></ol><p><strong>About - </strong>This is my first time designing something useful and modular! Please give me feedback on what needs to be improved</p><p><br><strong>Disclaimer!!!</strong> - This is my first model!!!!^^^ I suck at this!! The tolerences might not be perfect and please tell me where i could improve it! You may have trouble getting the rods into the base or the shelves onto the rods when their in the base.</p><p><strong>How to use - </strong>This model comes in many parts, I'll go over everything you need</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Spacers</strong><ul><li>There are two types of spacers, the vertical and horizontal ones.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Vertical spacers</strong> - Scale these vertically to be however tall you need it, These slide between each shelf on the same <strong>Column</strong> to space them apart.</li><li><strong>Horizontal spacers -</strong> Scale these vertically to be however tall you need it. I recommend scaling to however tall the vertical spacers + shelves add up to be so its just one spacer :&gt; There are currently 3 sizes/distances. Small is around 35mm, Medium is around 45mm, Large is around 60mm<ul><li>These spacers are used with their corresponding bases as a extra <strong>Column</strong> with x size distance between the shelves (charging cables/straps will have room to sit here xD)</li></ul></li><li><strong>There are multiple heights for the spacers make sure you stay consistent with the height you choose. </strong>I've also realized after modeling <i>every single one of them</i> that you could just vertically scale them to be whatever height you want in the slicer .-. so do that too. <strong>Stay consistent with heights</strong> - or don't doesn't matter :&gt; if it works it works</li></ul></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Bases</strong><ul><li>Obviously you cant have them sit on nothing and stand properly.&nbsp;</li><li>Print one base for every size of spacer you make. Example : If you print a small horizontal spacer Print 1 small base for it.</li><li>You should have at least two Main spacers (for the trackers) and at least one Small, Medium, or Large base. ( to space em apart)</li></ul></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Shelves!</strong>&nbsp;<ul><li>Each shelf has its own individual folder for the Main and Extension trackers. The size i chose for these were an average of the public cases I could find and an estimate on possible tracker sizes.&nbsp;</li><li>Print 1 for every Main / Extension tracker you have</li><li>For each shelf you will also need a <strong>Wall mount shelf </strong>for each (pls help me find a better name lol)</li><li><strong>DM me on Discord if you have a custom shelf for your specific case. Pixel#6554</strong></li><li>This model uses the "<a href="https://www.printables.com/model/282561-parametric-bobblehead-springs"><strong>Parametric Bobblehead Springs</strong></a><strong>" by </strong><a href="https://www.printables.com/social/106529-3d-printy"><strong>3D Printy</strong></a></li></ul></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Vertical Alignment Rod</strong>&nbsp;<ul><li>This is the main component that everything will slide into. I hope i dont need to explain how to use this :&gt;&nbsp;</li><li>You just slide all your parts together with it easy as that.</li><li>After all the shelves are mounted you can slide them onto the bases, or you can slide them onto the bases first then put the shelves on.<br>&nbsp;</li></ul></li><li><strong>Center attachment Piece</strong><ul><li>If you look at the base, there are little grooves on there.&nbsp;<br>This attachment piece fits perfectly there!</li><li>It was my solution to my modeling being bad and the lazy route to the shelves not being straight - It works and it looks fine :&gt; win win</li><li>You need one for every Two<strong> </strong>base pieces</li></ul></li></ul><p><strong>Print settings&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Id say my 3d printing knowledge is quite small :c but 0.2mm layer height is safe for everything.&nbsp;<br>I printed everything at 0.3mm and it seemed to be perfectly fine so do that if you want :&gt;</p><p>I used a 0.6mm nozzle… but 0.4mm shouldn't be a problem.&nbsp;</p><p>Everything is meant to print without supports!!!<br>The Vertical alignment rod might need a brim for bed adhesion but it should be alright as its now oriented diagonally.</p><p><strong>Print orientation&nbsp;</strong></p><p>All of the spacers are vertical for scaling convenience. Please orient them to lay on the side thats completely flat afterward. You <i>could</i> print them vertical (im not stopping u soo~) but the edges might be rounded and might not slide smoothly along the parts</p><p><strong>Important tips</strong></p><ul><li><strong>You can print a single horizontal spacer that's as tall as whatever height the vertical + Shelves are. Example : Each shelf is 25mm and you would need 2 shelves. At least a 20mm spacer at the bottom and top + maybe 60mm spacer in between the shelves. Total height would be 150mm so print a 150mm tall horizontal spacer.</strong><ul><li><strong>Make sure the vertical rods that everything slides to is 18mm taller than the total height of spacers + shelves (in example it would be 168mm</strong></li><li>Top lids will be made soon so the top of the shelves don't look ugly!</li></ul></li><li>Print one Base for each size of spacer you choose to use (otherwise how else will it fit :/</li><li>Printing the spring is optional if you think its too much of a hassle… you will just have normal shelves xD</li><li>The Base alignment things aren't required but they look cool and fill the gap :p they also were made to keep the shelves straight.&nbsp;</li><li>The shelves were made to slide smooth/loosely, because of this the extension shelf needs these little fillers to not move around make sure to print two! one on each side.</li><li>I suggest printing the <strong>Long versions of the base</strong> because front heavy &gt;.&lt;</li><li>I might have forgotten something here… my brain is dumb but- Have fun!</li><li>Please like my model if it helped you organize your trackers :&gt; thanks~</li></ul>
