A collection of shelf pegs

Made a few to fix my cabinet. Note that these are not North American sizes, and you will need to drill your hole larger if you wanna use these.

@Turbonator_99890 You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know. Looks like your printer is well tuned, as the peg size is virtually spot-on with what it's supposed to be (i.e. 1/4 inch or 6.34mm). I know that there are a variety of sizes used here in Canada, as we've got some cupboard shelves which use the much smaller 4.6mm version. Anyways, I'm glad to hear that you've got your shelves all fixed up now. Cheers.

@Joe_224841 I measured the size of the peg, and it comes out to 6.35 mm on my calipers. I enlarged the holes that I had by using a 1/4 inch drill bit and the peg fit perfectly in to that 1/4 inch hole. Now with larger holes and larger pegs, that shelf is going nowhere! Thank you.

@Turbonator Thanks for the rating and posting of your Make.

I'm sorry to hear you had some problems with yours.

I'm assuming from the photos that you selected the 6.34mm shelf pegs and I can assure you that they do in fact fit 1/4 inch North American shelving (I live in Canada and they fit mine perfectly).

1/4 inch = 6.34mm / 25.4mm per inch

Possibly that particular filament you're using is giving you some slightly larger than normal results or possibly your printer profile may need adjusting? Could you check the results of your shelf peg print with some calipers to confirm that the peg is measuring 6.34mm? If it's not, then that's where your problem is. (edited)
