Description

About the project

My wife asked me to create this one, a support for an Ikea basket.

The Ikea basket

I saw 2 convenientely located holes that I figured would welcome some kind of hooks. Took my measures, headed to Fusion 360, and hit print, it just works. Printed on its side of course, for maximum strength on the hooks.

    Use the existing holes as anchor points and print the hook sideways for strength.

    Clean fit, no extra hardware, no drama.
