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:

        Google is so useless these days. It ignores all the special search stuff to just deliver more ads

          Agreed. It is very annoying. Qwant seems to do ok, as does DuckDuckGo, but Google has failed me almost every time.

    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.

    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

      Definitely a good idea! But they’re under enough pressure that 3d printed parts wouldn’t hold up.

        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.

          I didn’t think I was, but now, I’m not so sure. I’ll see if I can commission one and test it’s strength. Any suggestions on material to use?

    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.
