If you’ve identified any other nifty maker applications for IKEA furniture, be sure to let us know! Having everything tidily tucked away in a cupboard neatens things significantly, and could also prove helpful if you pursue fume extraction, too. Too often, 3D printers are left chugging away on messy desks, where they’re subject to blasts from AC vents and other disruptions. Its thermal and noise isolating performance can also be further improved by adding a silicone door seal.

When it comes to the business of actually printing though, you just slide the printer inside and shut the door. It also naturally features plenty of storage for your filament, tools, and other accoutrements. It lets you slide out the printer for maintenance, using the controls, or extracting finished prints. It’s got a nifty slide-out drawer that makes a perfect mounting point for a 3D printer. The Billy makes a remarkably elegant 3D printing workstation, overall. If you want an elegant solution to the problem, consider getting yourself an IKEA Billy bookshelf, says. This is particularly helpful for printing certain materials which are more sensitive to cold drafts or other thermal disruptions to the working area. I now have a special place for my mandir at home and I really loved this project.The results from your 3D printer may be improved if you use a dedicated enclosure for the job. P.S.: Thanks to her f or this wonderful idea. Interested in doing this project for your home? The final result is shown in the below picture. It took us two to three days to figure out how exactly we can glue them.įinishing touch was gluing the LED lights (from Lowe’s) to the shelf and adding the decorative door knob from Pier 1 Imports. But gluing them to the wooden shelf was a challenge. Like the original author suggested I also used eye pins to keep the beads in place. So, we bought a wall mount shelf from Lowe’s and decorated the top with the wooden beads that I got in Michael’s. I wanted to have the “Gopuram” effect in my mandir. So, I created a backdrop with kolams as shown in the belowpicture. But I tried my best to draw this symmetry.Īnd then I wanted to keep Ganesha at the top center of the whole frame. I am not very good at drawing kolams or rather I lost touch with this art for 5 years now. I used a white fabric pen to decorate (read Indianize) the doors. I exactly mimicked her and I was so satisfied to see the end result.įirst, we were lucky enough to get this shelf from IKEA. So, like always I started browsing the blog world to get some DIY ideas and I came across this beautiful post from her which seemed perfect. When we went to NY for my birthday, we inquired in a number of desi boutiques and found that the ones I liked would cost me around $500. Buying a wooden mandir shelf here in USA would be very costly. The idea was there but I did not know where to get it from. Now that we bought a new house here in Boston, having a nice little perfect space for the mandir was on TOP of my list.Īll along I knew what I wanted.

For years we have been using a very old book shelf as the mandir. I have always wanted to have a nice swami room at my home.
