I've used it for over two years fully loaded without issues. It prints well in PLA , but for extra durability, you can use PETG . If you're printing with ABS , consider adjusting dimensions slightly to compensate for shrinkage. Make sure to use rods or pipes sturdy enough to support at least 12kg of filament without noticeable flexing. I use 15mm copper pipe for its strength and appearance, but PVC pipes or even wooden dowels can also work well. BOM (per shelf): two pipes cut to size * four M3 x 16mm screws for the pins. * Cut the pipe 2mm shorter than the inner width of your bookcase. Try to get it as close as possible as a tight fits helps with strenght. The M3 screws don't fit tightly in the holes on the inside of the bookcase, which is intentional) You can make this mount work with any cupboard that has pin holes for shelves. Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend storing filament in the sink base cabinet ;)
