IKEA Skadis CAD Attachments
Custom-designed 3D-printed attachments for IKEA Skadis pegboards, enhancing workspace organization and functionality.
Overview
This project creates a suite of custom organizational accessories for the IKEA Skadis pegboard system. Each attachment solves a specific workspace storage challenge while maintaining compatibility with the Skadis hook system.
The collection demonstrates parametric CAD design, 3D printing optimization, and user-centered product development. All designs are shared open-source for the maker community.
Mechanical Design
Each attachment was designed in Fusion 360 using parametric modeling to allow easy customization. The hook interface dimensions were reverse-engineered from IKEA Skadis to ensure perfect fit. Design considerations included print orientation for strength, support-free geometry, and snap-fit tolerances.
The collection includes tool holders, electronics organizers, spool holders, and custom mounts for specific workshop items. Each design prioritizes functionality while maintaining a clean aesthetic that complements the Skadis system.
Results & Achievements
Created over 15 different attachment designs, all successfully printed and tested. The attachments integrate seamlessly with the Skadis system and have received positive feedback from the maker community. Files have been downloaded 500+ times from Thingiverse.
The project demonstrates how 3D printing enables custom storage solutions tailored to individual needs, extending the functionality of commercial products.
