I’m working on a replacement for a broken shelf in my fridge door. It’s about 37.6 cm (14.8") on the longest axis so I need to print it in two pieces (as shown in the screenshot). Does anyhone have a good idea for a connection between the two that will be sturdy enough? The fridge door will support it from below for about half of its depth, the rest hangs free.

Wall thickness is currently at 3mm but I can increase it a bit if needed.

    I would extend one side and raise it over the other, so there’s a small overlapping lip to glue the two half’s together, that should be strongest.

      or even a center strip that “staples” the two halves together with pegs running through holes in the two halves (probably sturdier than glue but also uglier)
