Beskrivelse

Hi! Unfortunately, newer IKEA furniture isn’t built the way it used to be. The current (2025) MALM series has a significant design flaw: The bottom support rail is not flush with the side panels (2 mm difference) The original plastic feet therefore lift the entire cabinet Most of the weight ends up resting only on the cover rail, which is far from ideal To fix this, I designed a set of custom replacement plastic feet. On the tray, the models are arranged (left to right) as follows: 4×1 mm spacers, 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm. Solution Overview The original IKEA feet are 5 mm high. Recommended setup 3 mm feet under the bottom rail (recommended default) This keeps the cabinet level and distributes the weight properly Optional tilted setup If you prefer the cabinet to lean slightly backward: Keep 5 mm feet under the rail Use 7 mm feet under the side panels Fine Adjustment & Uneven Floors 1 mm spacers are included for fine-tuning The tallest foot is 9 mm, which should handle most uneven floors If needed, you can: Stack up to two spacers per foot Adjust each corner individually Strength & Testing After two test prints, the feet perform perfectly They can handle more load than the original IKEA feet Taller versions (7 mm and 9 mm) feature extra reinforcement for added strength Printing Recommendations For best results, use a slightly flexible material: ✅ PETG (recommended) Easier to remove Less likely to snap ⚠️ PLA can be brittle ✅ PLA+ should also work well Final Thoughts Thanks to these feet, our MALM cabinet now stands perfectly straight — to my wife’s great satisfaction 🙂 I hope this small helper pack proves useful for others struggling with newer IKEA MALM furniture as well!
