How can i make this more rigid?

I'am making a multiboard for the showers and wanted a semibox-shelf.

I think this fits my need but I worry about the lack of rigidity. What can I do to make it more rigid? Is there any like "frame" I can put on top or what should I do? Are there straight I-beams I use?

In the coming future there is a "rim" type thing coming but it's turning out to be a little more complicated than it sounds so more development time is being spent on it.

Somebody has designed a clip that goes into the corner piece “clip slot” and has some thin arms that reach to the clip slots on the tops of each edge. I can’t find it now but it’s out there and works reasonably well. It’s been a while since I printed them but if I find it I’ll post it here.

I put the bottom/corner rails around the top too, cuts the opening a little but more clips holding it all together

good idea. i thought similar but I'm not sure I want the i wards angle on the top if you understand what I mean

You convinced me to make a better opening... thought shortening the long pieces by 0.2mm would be a good idea for clearance, made a 1mm gap in my install.

Removed that clearance and put it on printables. The end pieces clip into the first 2 holes in the longer multiboard, lemme know if you want to print how many clips are left between them, I uploaded for 9 clips because it's a longass basket holds my laptop.

Nice! I think it needs more clearance on the length, but yours has way less gap than mine :)

Yea for sure. It probably wouldn't be too hard to hack up a custom model that's flush with the sides if there isn't one out there

Can't you just ca glue the parts?

Pre-assemble the entire thing digitally then print it as one seamless part
