We need a place to carefully store all the wooden and acrylic plates we cut in our laser.

Requirements

  • Size: Sheet size typically is 100x80cm, so this is the minimum per shelf.
  • The sheets have to be stored on a plain, stable surface. We don't want to have the sagged and bended material you typically get from the Baumarkt.
  • We need several shelves to sort the material and get easy access to them (min. 3?)
  • A few of our members want to store their own sheets and would rent space for it. Means maybe 3 additional shelves.

Proposal 1: Horizontal Mounting

Description

  • It is based on an Europalette with the size of 120x80cm. We can easily move it with the forklift then.
  • In the bottom, there is room for the waste (small Mörtelwannen) separated in acrylic and wooden parts maybe.
  • We add several shelves on top of it. Depending on the gap, we can have 6-8 of them.
  • For each shelf, we use wooden slats instead of flake boards, Otherwise the whole construction might become to heavy.
  • Might need some more cross connections to stabilize (or plank with more OSB)

Advantages

  • Material lies flat on the ground and cannot bend.
  • We can just pile up in the high and have more space.
  • Easy to build
  • Cheap

Disadvantage

  • Plates are lying on each other, so it becomes a little bit more difficult to get them out (when sorted, should not be a problem).

Costs

For the base construction

Europalette 1 - € - €
OSB Platte 800x675x12mm 2 - € - €
OSB Platte 1230x675x12mm 1 - € - €
OSB Platte 2050x675x12mm 2 3,30 € 6,60 €
Holzlatte 200x5,8x7,8cm 4 2,98 € 11,92 €

That is roughly 20 €.

For one shelf:

Holzlatte 120x4,8x2,4cm 6 - € - €
Holzlatte 250x4,8x2,4cm 3 0,80 € 2,40 €
Holzlatte 80x5,8x3,8cm 2 - € - €
Holzlatte 200x5,8x3,8cm 1 1,48 € 1,48 €
MDF 120x80x0,3cm 1 4,00 € 4,00 €

That is roughly 8 € per shelf.

With 6 shelves the total amount is 68 €, with some chevrons and screws, roughly 75 €

Proposal 2: Vertical Mounting

Description

  • It is based on an Europalette with the size of 120x80cm. We can easily move it with the forklift then.
  • We use OSB as separators between the shelves. Depending on the distance, we get 4-6.
  • For each shelf we us OSB as it is cheap and relatively stable. We mount the OSB with an angle of, e.g. 10°, so that the plates lie on them and do not bend (something from steel would be even better but is more expensive and difficult to build).

Advantages

  • Material lies relatively flat on the ground and cannot bend (still the OSB might bend over time, but can be replaced then easily).
  • Sheets can be easily accessed.

Disadvantage

  • Costs are higher.
  • Less shelves, need probably two of them (or pile them).
  • With the angle of the shelves, might be more complex to build accurately.
