bonjour les fichiers sont en step donc impossible utiliser cura pour imprimer y a til dautre fichier disponible merci

Hi, thanks for downloading!
I'll do my best to help. Looking at your questions, it makes it cleat to me that I need to update the instructions for this print.

If you are only printing one first, print
- BottomShelfAndSides_Back.step
- BottomShelfAndSides_Front.step
- Top (SplitBack).step
- Top (SplitFront).step
- Door.step
- BottomBracket.step (if you feel you need it for extra support)

To increase by one level, you would print:
- Level1-OddEven_Back.step
- Level1-OddEven_Front.step

And another level:
- Level2-OddEven_Back.step
- Level2-OddEven_Front.step

Alternate between level 1 and level 2 prints to keep going up. There is an offset in the front to back split between level 1 and level 1 files for added strength.

"Pin_Midlevels_FlatFace" are the hinges between levels, and "Pin_Outer" are the hinges for the top and bottom. If only printing the bottom level, then you'd only print the Pin_Outer x 2

Front and back sections are glued for each layer. There's no gluing required between levels.

Magnets:
there are magnet pockets in the doors and where the doors close to meet the cabinet. When you slice the file, take a look halfway down the slice to see. I add a pause at the top of the pocket section just before the layer that starts to close over that pocket. 2 magnets per level of cabinet. 1 in the door, and 1 in the mating cabinet (front) face at the same level. I'm not at home at the moment but will verify that the second pockets made it into the uploaded files when I get home.

Hope that helps, and thanks for asking!

Cheers,
Jason

Hello,
I downloaded the file but didn't fully understand everything in the files and I couldn't find an answer to my questions in the print description. I hope you can help me.

I just want to print one cabinet first and see how it looks, then maybe make 5 cabinets like in your photos if it's stable and I like the mechanics.

First question:

Don't I have to print the files:
"Level2-OddEven_Back"
and
"Level2-OddEven_Front"
for a single cabinet?

As far as I understand, you need these files if you want to print a second cabinet.

And if you want to print a third one, you print the
"Level1-OddEven_Back" and "Level1-OddEven_Front" again.

And so on.

Is that right?

Second question:

"Pin_Midlevels_FlatFace" and "Pin_Outer" are the hinges for the door or just covers for the screw holes and how many of them do I need for a cabinet? I just threw 6 of each into the slicer because the printing time isn't very long. In your BambuLab photo you have one of each on it, I assume you only need one of each.

Third question:

Is the cabinet glued before it is fixed to the wall or are the rails constructed in such a way that it holds itself in place?

Fourth question:

Where exactly do the magnets go?

I only noticed from the "Door" file that there is a magnet cavity in the file to pause there and insert the magnet, but I couldn't find the magnet gaps in the other files, could you tell me how many magnets you need in total for a cabinet and in which files exactly a magnet has to be inserted.

I apologize for the long text, I hope you can answer my questions. Best wishes
