CORAL WALL SHELF "MONTIPORA CAPRICORNIS"
Gazzaladra Design
An organic shelf that grows from your wall. This design is based on the beautiful coral “montipora capricornis”.
Versions
Capricornis_coral_shelf_A, -B and -C: The shelf in default size in three different shapes
Capricornis_coral_holder: the holder for the default size with a screw-hole diameter of 5.5mm
Capricornis_coral_holder_for_upscaling: If you want a huge version, scale up the default sized shelf up and use this holder – the only difference is the screw-hole size of 3mm that will be usable when scaled.
Capricornis_coral_shelf_small_A, -B and C: A small version (60% scale)
Capricornis_coral_holder_small: A holder for the small version – simply scaling down the default version would make the holder unusable
Capricornis_coral_shelf_no_holder_A, B and C: The Shelf without the cut-out intended for scaling down below the small version – must be mounted with glue or tape
Capricornis_coral_shelf_magnet_internal: A version for making a fridge magnet with mid-printing insertion (40% scale)
Capricornis_coral _shelf_magnet_external: A version for making a fridge magnet (40% scale)
Instructions
Print the shelf and holder – if you want to create a even greater variety you can mirror the design in your slicer
You can either screw or glue it onto your wall. There are various glue or tape products for wall fixation out there. I used 3M Tape. Old fashioned screws and dowels are the most reliable fixation.
Insert the shelf by moving it horizontally onto the holder until the holder is completely inside the cutout. Then proceed to move the shelf down and the holder locks.
Enjoy!
Instructions fridge magnet
Magnet required: a 20 x 2 mm neodymium magnet
Internal magnet
The internal magnet shelf file has a cutout inside to place a magnet during the printing process. All wall shelf designs have the cutout at the same height – so you can print all of them at the same time.
Use a copper nozzle for printing (nonmagnetic)
Slice the file and check the layer height of the last layer before the bridging over the hollow cutout starts. With a 0.4mm nozzle it should be at layer 15. Implement a pause after that layer with your slicer.
Start the print
At the pause insert the magnet and continue printing. As always be careful with magnets and electronic parts!
External magnet
Print the file
Glue in the magnet after the printing process – the cut-out is sized to let the magnet stand out just a bit
Default size version A assembled: 249 x 143 x 117 mm
