IKEA Billy bookcase anti-tip wall bracket
A low-profile bracket that ties the top of an IKEA Billy bookcase to the wall and replaces the flimsy strap or a lost original fitting. The bracket is an L of 5 mm thick PETG, 60 mm wide, with a 40 mm leg that screws down into the top panel with two 4 mm screws and a 50 mm leg that carries a 6 mm slot for a wall plug and screw. The slot allows 10 mm of adjustment so the case can sit tight against the skirting board. Ribs along the inside corner stop the L from opening under load. Print it lying on the long leg for strength across the bend. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Create an L-shaped anti-tip bracket 60 mm wide and 5 mm thick with a 40 mm horizontal leg having two 4.5 mm countersunk holes for screws into an IKEA Billy top panel and a 50 mm vertical leg with a 6 x 16 mm wall screw slot, plus two 3 mm ribs across the inside corner.
Fit notes
Wall spacing behind a Billy varies with skirting, wallpaper and cable runs, so a bracket generated to your gap beats a fixed one. In SpeakCAD you give the gap and screw sizes, preview the bracket in the browser, ask for a version that hides behind a Kallax in the chat and download the STL.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
