In this Instructable, you can learn how to make a printable custom mini shelf with Tinkercad. Supplies: A Tinkercad account A 3D printer (I use the MakerBot Replicator) PLA lament Acrylic paint Sandpaper Mini Shelf (created With Tinkercad): Page 1 Step 1: Back Wall (*Note: The imperial system is used for all dimensions.) Select the box (or cube) shape from the Basics Shapes category, and make it 1/8 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 5 inches long. Mini Shelf (created With Tinkercad): Page 2 Step 2: Side Walls Next, take another cube, make it 2 inches tall, 1/8 inches wide, and 4.25 inches long, and place it within the edge of the back wall. Then, duplicate it by pressing Ctrl + D, and put the copy on the other side of the back wall.

Select another cube, make it 2 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 1/8 inches long, and place it at the top of the side walls. Next, duplicate it (Ctrl + D), and move it 1.625 inches below the rst shelf. While keeping the new shelf selected, duplicate it, and the third shelf will appear below it.

Duplicate it, and put the new wedge on the opposite edge.

Make sure to print it on its back to minimize the amount of supports used in the printing process. With this size, it took about 6.5 hours to print.

Step 9: Paint It Finally, it is time to paint! You can use any color you prefer. I've found that acrylic paint works best. Step 10: Finished Shelf Now you can display your tiny treasures for your family and friends. Enjoy! Mini Shelf (created With Tinkercad): Page 14 Mini Shelf (created With Tinkercad): Page 15
