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?

If you aren't satisfied with the ones you can find on amazon, here's one you can get a friend with a 3D printer to print up.

Check your local library if you don't have a friend with a printer.

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:

I searched google and didn't get these. Friggin targeted search results! Thank you so much!

I was also trying to find these this week, and am also thankful!

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.

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.
