Arched wall shelf, split

A little arched frame for the wall that gives you a low shelf for small things and an open archway above it. It's cut into pieces so it fits on a smaller printer, with small holes on each side for hanging. Change the width and height to fit your wall space.

Notes
Print each piece back face down. Glue the dowels in with CA glue or epoxy.

Hardware

  • 4 × Wall screws with anchors (about 4.5 mm shank, head 8 mm or under) · One per keyhole; these are the 2 per side with the default setting

Assembly

  1. Glue the dowels into the sockets of the lower pair, then join the two lower pieces.
  2. Join the upper pair the same way.
  3. Glue the upper half onto the lower half, using the dowels to align them.
  4. Screw two screws into each side wall, spaced to match the keyholes, then hang the shelf on them.

Good to know

  • The build report still flags a tiny 0.5 mm ledge on the lower-left piece near a joint. It's cosmetic, so sand it if it bothers you.
  • This is a big print: about 830 g and roughly 19 hours in total at 2 walls and 15% infill. Four walls would be sturdier but takes about 30 hours.
  • The keyhole slots and glue joints are untested. Use wall anchors rated well above the loads the report estimates, and test-fit one dowel first.
