Description

HexGrip is a two-clip press-fit system for building hexagonal shelving from 1/2 in plywood, now designed for plain 90° square-cut panel ends. Each slot ends in a solid stop 5 mm from the vertex centre, so neighbouring panels meet at 120° without colliding and no mitre cuts are needed.

Features

  • End Cap Clip: two slots at 120° for outer hexagon corners.
  • Spoke Clip: three slots 120° apart for shared vertices in a hexagon network.
  • Barbed slot walls with about 0.55 mm interference per side: ramped entry, steep faces that resist pull-out.

Dimensions

  • Slot width 13.0 mm, depth 19 mm
  • Clip height 24 mm, arm length 30 mm

Print notes

  • Prints with the slot opening facing up, no supports needed.
  • A single hexagon uses 12 clips, one on the front and one on the back of each vertex.
  • Print one first to check the fit against your actual plywood thickness.
