All I can say is: WOW! You did a fantastic job. Thanks so much for sharing everything (including the 3D files). I'm going to see how this might apply to my trailer.

that is perfection!
i will print some of your brackets this afternoon for our 67 caravel SS bath closet.
i love that it is so clean looking.
i used wood on the CS closet but will take that out if this works as wonderfully as i think it will.
thank you so much for posting!

this is very cool! does the design allow the rods to snap into place or is it a lose fit?

i printed a set, they snap in.
it is such a perfectly clever design.
can't wait to give them a try in a 67 caravel.

thanks for the snap fit validation. this is such a well engineered design! as soon as my 19CB arrives I'll look at how this fits that closet.

HOVR
the dish rack you recommended is out of stock. i ordered & received another brand that will work perfectly.
I've got everything i need printed & ready. now for some spring weather.
not sure if I'll use screws or rivets to mount mine.
thanks again for the STL use.

That looks great! the bracket has countersink holes designed for screws, I recommend use double side carpet tape(fairly thin) for max strength.

we prefer solid shelving so that items are stable and don't fall through
i also added two levels of shelving for shoes by the front door of our 22fb sport
this one used wire shelving so that wet and dirty shoes would simply fall to the floor below
both are lit with LED lights. the switch is just by the opening

We do not like solid shelving in such small space because they hinder air circulation and promote mold. Also in 16' the shelving won't extend to the door due to the front of the closet is narrower, so things can easily fall from the front opening without a 'railing' in the front. The spacing of the rods are very small, item small enough to fall through needs to be put in a bin even with solid shelving.

HOVR i will second that on solid shelving.
i installed solid shelves in one closet but will remove it and replace with the 3d printed style.
i prefer air circulation as well.

Weight is another consideration, the composite material is quite heavy and I like the ventilation with the railings.

That looks amazing and thanks for sharing ! The best i could think of was to use wire shelf that we can cut to size but this looks much more elegant.

These look great! I am having trouble finding the 3D printer files. The link in air16.org doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me where to get them?
