Ikea brimnes bed corner protector / corner bumper

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

So.. You have an ikea brimnes bed, and if you are clumsy as me, or you have kids at home.. Well, there is a chance that you, or your kids bump one of your limbs on that unbelievably sharp corner. Most likely the one in the lower part which is located in the perfect spot for poking a hole in your shinbone. And then you bleed all over your expensive carpet, jumping all over the space on one leg, crying in pain.
Since i had that experience, i designed a simple corner bumper for this bed.
It's the best if you print it from a flexible material, like TPU, but in my experience simple PLA works also. Its hard, but you don't get that sharp corner at least.
There are two versions included.
V1 is the ugly, but a bit simpler to 3d print version, You need supports in that too, but you don't need too much sanding.
V2 is the prettier, bur harder to print version. The best placement is maybe on its sides, and with raft. But prepare for a bit sanding.
And since the corner located the highest has different thickness, there are to parts. One for the lower corner, and one for the upper one.
