Steel Shelving Casters Upgrade

This model is intended for (plate) Steel shelving with 34mm-sided L-profile legs.

I highly recommend to set the first shelf at the lowest height setting, to add rigidity and properly fix the beams to it.

Printing

• 9 perimeters
• No supports needed
• Recommended 0.25mm layer height for speed
• 1.01 or 1.02 extrusion multiplier for layer adhestion strength
• Nozzle temperature +4 even +6C
• Slicer screenshot shows how you should orient the parts, they also all fit in one bed

Parts

• printed: 4pcs regal_foot
• printed: 8pcs inside_spacer
• 4pcs casters/roller wheels with square 60x60mm base, “42mmx42mm” M6 hole spacing but on my version they were oval holes anyways, I made the model with 47x47mm center-to-center hole distances
• M6x50mm screws for the beams: 16pcs
• M6x16mm for the square base rollers: 16pcs
• 4pcs wood beams with M6 holes at both ends “long” (wooden in the pictures)
• EITHER printed 4pcs stabilising_bone 160mm (printed in the pictures) OR 4pcs wood beams with M6 holes at both ends “short”

The beams are stabilising parts to prevent the sheet metal feet from wobbling and add stability. There are two versions long/short because on the shorter side of your shelving, the beams from the two sides may interfere --the printed 160mm version works well for 45cm deep shelves as pictured.

The "long" beams are ~30cm but something between 15-40cm should be fine as long as the long side of your shelf can fit a beam from each side: 45cm beams on a 80cm side length would be too long

Assembly

• Screw the casters on the printed feet (M6x16mm 4x4pcs)
• Add the beams: one short, one long per foot (M6x50mm 2x4 pcs), alternating left_long/left_short
• Put the empty shelf sideways and attach one pair of left_long/left_short feet along one side
• Drill aligned holes for the other ends of the bones (M6) into the shelf body (make sure the shelf is not under load)
• Use the inside_spacers on the M6 screws between the shelf body and the beam from the inside, screw together (M6x50mm)
• Tighten all screws
• Repeat on other side
