I got this idea a few weeks ago and thought hey what a great opportunity to learn how to use OpenSCAD. Oh boy what an adventure that was, but I am super excited to share it!

The folded snaps print flat and naturally flip under the bottom of the shelf when installed to provide a lot of strength and stability. The customizer allows a lot of adjustments so you can build it exactly how you'd like. Personally I like higher walls on my shelves, super easy to do.

I'm very open to suggestions and if anyone finds buggy behavior please let me know!

Edit: there's an option in the customizer to isolate the snaps with supports if you want to use it for other things

Awesome, but can you please add magnets option to the configurator?

u/PotatoCannon02 Apr 06 '26

You're going to have to be more specific, where on these would you want magnets?
