A new file finally available! This is a repeating hexagon shelf. Like the original post claimed, will be able to make one, two, as many as you want. The assembly should be very simple. There’s only three files. First, cut the bottoms. Then, insert the shelves. Next, insert the middle connector and just keep going.
This is the overall design.
You can keep it small or make it tall.
Assembly is easy as can be!
Very adjustable.
What’s next with repeating hexagon shelf?
I test cut all of my files before releasing them so that I can be sure there are not flaws. There was one time I got a little to big for my britches and didn’t test cut, and naturally, there was a flaw in the file.
Thus, my first step with any finished file is some test cuts.
Next, I adjust. This file was made for wood supplied from Ocooch Hardwoods. I usually use wood supplies from here or from https://amzn.to/3oyG8Xq #ad. When I do, my cuts interlock best when I design for a material thickness of .115 inches. I did that on this design and the fits worked great for 90% of the cuts. But, some of them were a bit more snug then I think customers would like.
Your Input?
So, I will be doing back to the design to make some variations. I will make a folder for varying material thicknesses ranging from the .115 inch that I use to .25 inches. If you have a material thickness in mind, comment at the bottom and I will add it in.
I added some of the picture below so you can see what the pieces look like in its current form.
I will be using my batch conversion trick to turn all of my SVG’s into PNG and PDF’s on this file. If you haven’t learned the trick, its a real time saver. Take a look here.
Keep an eye on the flash-free files for this one!
I am also still working to create a version of this to hang on a wall.
