Edsal Muscle Rack Shelf Top Bracket

Summary

This is a top mount bracket to add an additional shelf to an Edsal (aka Muscle Rack) storage rack. For my purposes I had split the shelving unit into two so I was left with one part that had the uprights sticking up in the air, serving no purpose. So I designed this bracket to slide over the end of the upright.

STEP file is included to easily remix as you see fit.

Supplies needed:

• 1x2 inch lumber
• 1/3 inch plywood or similar for the shelf

Notes:

• Each bracket will use ~70g of filament when printed with 1.6 mm walls and 30% infill.
• The holes in the bracket are for adding a bolt and hardware, should you want to tie everything together better. Not really needed though as the uprights are already pretty stable and the 1x2's fit tightly into the bracket.
• The angle cut on the 1x2's is 45 degrees.
• No supports are needed when printing at the 45 degree angle in the 3mf file.
