Woodworkers of MCB: terminology?

Thanks.
Tested a couple printed spacers, need too much extra for existing hardware to reach. Found a couple bits on ebay that I will get to work.

And in the cabinet biz what you're looking for is called a Standoff. That usually has a threaded stud on one side, and a matching threaded hole on the other.

Got some 18mm (bit less than 3/4") Baltic birch plywood on the big cnc router at work today. And plenty of leftover scrap on the programmed pattern. Might be able to sneak in a few disks. Just need final confirmation on dimensions.

Five minutes? I literally don’t believe you. It’s clearly taken the entire five minutes of forum time already.

[Deus Machina]

Maybe a picture? if I haven't lost my mind I believe the piece you are referring too was commonly known as a "standard."

Yeah, different kind of shelf. Unless Google is failing me again.
Excuse the mess while I figure things out and rearrange.

Is raising the shelf gonna run it into the bottom of the cylindrical post above it?

They're separate pieces. Post-shelf-post, the posts have screw studs in the ends and the shelf has a hole for it to pass through. So as long as the studs are long enough or I can find longer ones, I can assemble them however I want.
For instance, I just attached the bottom two sets of posts straight to each other, sans shelf, for my PC.

What about something that already has a hole in the middle? Like PVC, or similar?

The issue being that the studs through them are only 3/16", and the posts are 1-1/2" or something. So not easy to find that, and I'm hoping for something that matches eventually.
For now, black PETG will make do. It's dark oak, it'll be fine for a while.

No idea how I fumbled that, but yes.
Of course, I could contact the carpenters of McDonald's for some really... interesting answers.

Most home improvement stores will sell 0.25 to 2 inch diameter dowels. I’d get one, cut cylinders to length, and drill through the centers. Then grab a stain that should match, dunk em, and wipe the excess off.

Yup. Except I don't have a workshop or half my power tools any more, it would take me all day cutting eight, then getting sets of 4 even and straight.
Just hoping to spend an extra couple dollars and save myself a lot of trouble.

[Deus Machina]

I figured, in the long term, I'd prefer $5 on ebay and an afternoon of staining, drying, and reassembling...
But I don't even know what to buy. So 5 minutes (seriously, both CAD and slicer together) and then playing the new PS5 while I wait.

Its more like:
5 minutes in CAD
4 hours of walk-away-and-do-something-esle printer time
$5 of printer filament (if that)

Just sayin.....
