Uppgradera Collection 3 was designed in collaboration with Enable 3D in 2023 and will be available to download free forever on Enable 3D platforms.
Enable 3D develops in collaboration with leading artists and 3D printable products made for the the circular economy.
The Collection 3 includes 5 hacks upgrading some of the most famous IKEA products with their long time existing issues for a better user experience and a lower ecological footprint.
"TACKLING THE PLASTIC CRISIS - CIRCULAR ECONOMY
We all know how messed up our current situation is. We believe that a circular economy is the only solution for a society on a finite planet. Additive manufacturing can be one technolgical solution to turn already existing resoures into new products. By offering better designed and more customized products for decentral 3D printing we hope to enable users to turn recycled filament into new beloved products.
All our designs are made for monomaterial usage. We are working in each collaboration on making small steps towards a circular future."

All hacks are a result of countless number of iterations and prototyping... as usual.
Tested and validated in use, ready to upgrade your IKEA experience...
UP03 - UPPFYLLD
Problem: The UPPFYLLD is a brand new cheese grater in Ikea, it has a smart storage solution that collects the grated cheese. However, significant amount of cheese falls outside the tool. (Same issue experienced with the classic CHOSIGT, and got hacked in the first collection)
Uppgradera: The UP03 is a ring that can be placed onto the grater to prevent the grated cheese from falling down. The leftover pieces can be easily swept off from the tool.

MU03 - MULIG
Problem: The MULIG clothing rack is one of the most common product but the hangers are keep falling off on the sides because of the small stopper.
Uppgradera: MU03 is a clip-on stopper mounted on both sides of the MULIG clothing rack. Thanks to it's height all the hangers will stay steady on the rail.
---
TL03 - TILLGÅNG
Problem: The TILLGÅNG tray is a cheap and popular product, which exist in almost every IKEA fan's kitchen. Unfortunately glasses slide and are upset easily on the tray's slippery surface.
Uppgradera: The TL03 is a clip-on glass holder that can be fitted onto the bed try and positioned alongside the side edges. Placing several ones all at once is possible too.
---
TI03 - TISKEN
Problem: The TISKEN toothbrush holder was meant to be an organizer...
Uppgradera: The TI03 is designed to separate the toothbrushes and toothpaste to use the holder more hygenic and space efficient.
---
FR03 - FROST
Problem: The FROST drying racks used to collapse while changing the hanged clothes on them.
Uppgradera: FR03 is designed to be clipped onto the metal rails and keep the drying rack steady while unfolded. The clip is easy to turn over on one side to allow folding.
