Adjustable ^2 Plastic Wrap Pantry Door Shelf

This is a remix of the Adjustable Plastic Wrap Pantry Door Shelf by Iceytee: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2857706

Unfortunately my saran wrap boxes were too deep to fit it, so I remixed it.

This remix allows some flexibility in the depth of the bracket and uses a rubber band to provide some tension to hold the boxes in place. The pics are of an earlier version and I will update them when I have the final version printed.

Parts required:

• 2 x M4x16mm Socket Head Screws (M4x12 would probably work as well)
• 2 x M4 lock nut
• 2 x rubber bands (regular size)
• It will also require some screws to mount. I used some small 3M command strips on mine, but that is only temporary until I see where the best location is for this.

The nut and bolt are used to keep the whole thing from flying apart if the top and bottom are pulled apart and separated with the rubber band installed, so don't skimp and leave them out. The standard disclaimers apply. if you make this, you take full responsibility for making and using it, and keeping kids and pets from messing with it. There is a rubber band or two involved so don't shoot your eye out (either or them), and be careful not to get pinched when putting it together or using it. Look both ways before crossing the street, don't feed the wildlife, and stay off my yard.

Assembly instructions:

• First, install the rubber band, doubled over place it over the round post at the back of the base part.
• Then install the tool in the hex opening on the bottom of the base, the tool will help with installing the rubber band.
• Loop the lose ends of the rubber band around the posts of the tool and make sure the band is sitting nicely in the center channel.
• Next install the top part, which will slide into the channel of the base, with it about half way installed, take one end of the rubber band at a time, and loop them over the post for the top part. Watch your fingers and let the rubber band retract the top part,
• Finally, remove the tool, and install the M4 locknut in the base (in the hexagonal opening), and install the M4 socket head screw into it from the top, the screw head will ride in the channel.
• Repeat for the 2nd mount and that's it.

The rest of these mounts work the same way as the original.

Please keep this away from kids and probably pets too would be a good idea. It has small parts, pinchy parts and it just make sense to be careful. As always, use this at your own risk and if you do, please use with caution.

Thanks for looking, if you like this thing, please like it or download it (which helps to get me closer to my first free spool of Prusament).  Or you can check out my site, to see what other projects are in the works.

Print Settings

Notes:

I printed mine with 1mm walls and sides, but I am not sure what would be best in general. It should be printed with supports and a brim or raft. I set supports for 60% overhang because I wanted to minimize the support material around the posts for the rubber bands. I would use at least 30% infill simply because the tension from the rubber band may put some stress on the parts, but again it is just a guess.

I oriented the parts so they would be printed in the tall orientation with the fewest supports needed, should be the way they will drop into Cura if my STL's are set up right.

Took more than 5 hours to print on my kossel plus.
