Bill of Materials
- Screw (4.5mm) x 2: Per Bracket
- Wall Plug x 2: Per Bracket
Description
This 3D-printed shelf bracket was designed using topology optimization - the same process used in aerospace and F1 to remove material everywhere except where force actually travels.
That means:
- ✅ High strength with less filament
- ✅ Lightweight but load-bearing
- ✅ Looks like a sculpted “bone” structure, but it’s fully engineered

💬 FAQ
Q: How much weight can it hold?
A: Printed in PLA+ with 4 walls and 25% infill, mine supports a solid wood shelf + objects (10kg). Doesn't seem close to its limit.

A: Yes, although this will affect screw fit.
