I built the Mini Warehouse for use with the remote controlled Mini-Skidi RC model that I remixed here: https://www.printables.com/model/567657-the-mini-skidi-rubber-remix.  It became a play environment for young drivers. The warehouse was very sturdy once the beams were seated with downward pressure. But after a few “hits” by inattentive Skidi drivers, they could become unseated. (*NOT* the intended design requirement for the warehouse!) . Now this is also caused by printer imperfections and/or poor filament and not due to the model.

After creating some simple “beam locks” the warehouse could withstand  more “Skidi-abuse”. I also added/enhanced some other parts that would withstand direct hits. If you abuse your warehouse, some of these items might help.

The beam locks come in 2 unit and 3 unit size currently. They simply insert above the opening between the cross beam and vertical beam. They can be removed easily with a small flat blade screwdriver. This is a very quick design and I intend to add a few more size options and perhaps other parts.

The two sizes of plywood offer a larger ridge across the bottom to resist unseating. A foot allows one to glue rubber to the bottom, to prevent the frame from sliding across a smooth surface. 

The video below shows the advantage of the beam lock and a few other mods.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  1. the use of “beam locks” prevents the beams from lifting and becoming dislodged
  2. plywood tops have deeper rail to prevent falling off beams
  3. feet with rubber (glued on) prevent slippage on a smooth surface
