I need a small, purpose-built plastic spacer that locks a metal bracket for a shelf firmly against its supporting metal bracket. The spacer must be custom-fitted to the exact profile of both parts and incorporate grooves or slots that positively engage with the bracket so nothing can slide forward or rattle. Size of the spacer/adapter/Orienter is no more than about Height 1.5"-2" X Width the same X depth of 1/4" You will receive photos, dimensions, and a simple sketch of how the shelf sits on the bracket today; your job is to translate that information into a ready-to-manufacture design. I plan to 3D-print the first prototypes, then move to metal once the fit is perfect, so native CAD (STEP or SolidWorks), STL, and a clear drawing with critical dimensions are the expected outputs. Please model the part so: • The face touching the Metal beam is wide enough to fit around the update beam but is not too loose that it does not sit loose and allow the shelf to move. • The grooved side locks neatly over the metal bracket—or into—the metal bracket profile without tools. • Draft angles, radii, and wall thicknesses follow standard moulding practice. • Will also require a track that has a 90 degree angle to allow for a shelf to sit at 90 degrees for the sake of displaying books or records. • Must be able to take a clear picture and transfer that image into software to scan for real life measurement specs I’ll test the print in-house; if adjustments are required, a quick turnaround on revisions will be appreciated.

Hello, Your custom plastic spacer/adapter needs to lock the shelf bracket firmly in place, and I can turn your photos, dimensions, and sketch into a clean, manufacturable CAD part that fits precisely and resists rattling or forward slide. I’ll model the groove/slot engagement, include the 90-degree shelf track option, and prepare the geometry for both prototype printing and later metal production. I’ll work from your reference images and measurements to build the part in native CAD, then provide STEP, STL, and a dimensioned drawing with critical tolerances. I also use scan-to-CAD workflows when needed to match real-world profiles accurately, and I’ll refine the fit quickly if your first print calls for adjustments. Please have a look at our Freelancer portfolio through the links given below. https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50 Best regards Kirandeep K.

Hi there ! With 3D CAD, design, and modeling as my core strengths, I am confident in my ability to convert your vision into a ready-to-manufacture reality. As an expert in mechanical and product design, I understand the intricate balance between form and function that your project demands. Over the years, I've honed my skills to craft precise designs while adhering to standard molding practices, thereby ensuring your spacer's compatibility with your over-the-update beam bracket. Moreover, I'm well-versed in various software such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD which are vitally essential for this project. This advanced knowledge enables me to provide not only the STL files and native CAD files you require but also comprehensive drawings with critical dimensions. Prompt revisions will be my priority if necessary, and since you plan to 3D-print prototypes using my models before moving to metal, you can expect me to work efficiently to optimize them for both processes. With a keen eye for detail and strict adherence to accuracy, I am also confident in my ability to replicate the real-life image of specs. Don't let this freelancing seal your sight. Choose me and let's turn this project into an incredible success story together! Thanks & regards Gaurav Sharma...
