I built the ultimate custom ladder shelf from scratch using 3D modelling, laser cutting, a router table, and a 3D printer! In this video, I take you through the entire step-by-step design and fabrication process to show you exactly how I mixed modern tech with woodworking.
Whether you are looking for unique DIY furniture ideas or want to see how to over-engineer a simple shelving unit using a 3D printer and a laser cutter, this project was designed to inspire you. I'm very pleased with the final result and let me know if you want the design files to be released?
Let me know in the comments: would you buy a shelf like this, or try to build it yourself?
