I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I’m reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It’s been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can’t remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?

    I just searched Amazon for “wire shelf connectors” and got lots of results. I’d check measurements, but here is one result that might work:

    They’re called C&C. I use them for making cages for my guinea pigs. There’s lots of options on Amazon, they’re somewhat universal.

    Wow that’s a blast from the past. I’ve still got one that’s blue from when i was a kid. Sits in my attic torn down as they always fall apart if u bumped into it wrong.

    Searching “wire shelf plastic connectors” on ebay will give you exactly what you want.

      Pro tip, if the joints on them are starting to not hold together of their own accord and you don’t want them to fall apart: use zip ties on the edges/corners to reinforce them.

    Wow this brings back memories, my family had a bunch of these years ago I don’t know what they’re called but you could try 3d printing those caps

        I’m pretty positive they would with standard PLA, but at the very least you could print them with a stronger material that absolutely would hold up.

    If you’re crafty, I feel like this is something you could make out of a wooden 2x2 or a dowel stick, a jigsaw and a drill with the right bits.
