I bought some IKEA EKET cabinets (with door and with drawers) that I wanted to place on a carpet but needed them to be placed at a certain distance from the wall (due to reasons). 

Unfortunately the provided spacers weren't long enough for my purposes and cabinets kept moving towards the wall with every closure/opening of a drawer / door.

Measured the original spacer thread, re-made it in Fusion360, failed 5 times, finally figured out how to add custom thread sizes, added some extras for better looks and 3 spots for rubber bumpers/dampeners so that plastic doesn't rub the wall (you'll want ones that are 8mm in diameter). It's around 2x longer than original ones, and just as flimsy!

That's about it I guess. Print with whatever setting you fancy, no supports needed. Took around 1h30min a piece on a good old Ender 3. It should screw on effortlessly.

Note: This one doesn't have the screw hole that was present in the original part because I had no need for it.

The IKEA part number of the original spacer was 141414.

Hope someone also finds it useful.
