A couple weeks ago, I posted about my completed Honda Element micro-camper setup. I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback (thank you!) and requests for plans.<\/p>\n

Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been slowly digitizing, and so here are the plans for the shelf that I made.<\/p>\n

The link below is to a PDF assembly drawing of the fully assembled shelf. It has some key assembly dimensions, as well as some assembly notes.<\/p>\n

The link below is for a STEP file, which includes a 3D CAD model for the entire shelf assembly. I like using Fusion360 as my CAD software, but STEP should be compatible with a lot of CAD packages out there.<\/p>\n

The link below is for individual DXF files for each of the funny-shaped plywood pieces. If you have access to a laser cutter, that is an ideal way to cut cardboard templates, or etch the plywood directly with cut lines, or even cut the plywood itself (if you have access to a laser like that, good job, you are doing well!).<\/p>\n

And finally, this last link is the giant full scale printable template of all 5 funny-shaped pieces. I recommend using Acrobat Reader (which is free to download). When you go to print, there is an option for “Poster” under “Paper Sizing & Handling”. This will tile 8.5″x11″ sheets over this giant drawing. After you print out all the pages, you’ll have to piece the individual sheets together to form the actual template.<\/p>\n

If you do end up building this, or tweaking the plans to your own needs, please let me know. I would love to see what you come up with!<\/p>\n

I also made a quick video with more detailed explanations for design and construction. GOOD LUCK!<\/p>\n
