Shelf pin jig, with the following features:

  • Fully parametric, adjust to your use case: pin diameters, number of pins, material thickness, edge distance, etc. OnShape link included
  • Measuring window for easy alignment
  • Prints without supports (check capture with right orientation)
  • Can Chain position using a placed pin.
  • Includes depth stop calibration jig
  •  Sample Print files for 6mm pin, 9mm depth, 15mm material, 28mm edge distance and pin interval

The print settings for the jigs are not relevant, and pins themselves (both settings and diameters) depend on the weight of what you are trying to store and the material thickness.

The Depth stop jig represents the actual material thickness with the required hole in it. 

I use a self centering drill bit to place pilot holes first and then use the target size drill bit with the depth stop on my portable drill press.

You may find the pin difficult to insert, there is a parameter called insertTolerance that can be increased to make inserting the pin easier. It should be a bit hard while still possible to remove the pin by hand.
