Flexible Storage System with Drawers

thingiverse

Since I had the challenge to somehow organize all the stuff that came together over the time by building and tweaking 3D printers, I was looking for the perfect storage system. But actually most of the systems were either too big or by far to small - or really expensive… So the natural conlusion was to simply design my own system. Target was to - make it easy to extend - support various sizes - have drawers to take something out, without the storage system to collapse - print it completely without any support needed (I hate to remove supports…) Therefore I came up with this system - It is stackable, without the need for external supports - just put one box on the other and they snap in - the elements/drawers have different width: 40mm, 80mm and 120mm - the height is either 40mm for single size drawers or 80mm for double size - each drawer has three positions for a divider implemented Assume, you want a 80mm width component, you need to print: case_80.stl and drawer_80.stl The divider_80.stl is optional if and how many you need. For the rest the naming is same - 40mm, 120mm or double size. The wall thickness is 1.2mm - so easily printable with 0.4nozzle and 0.6mm nozzle Just print the models without any support, I also did not need any brim. Infill is "don't care", since it anyway consists only of 2-3 walls. I have also added solid 3D models with the extension _VASE >> If you have a 0.6mm or 0.8mm nozzle you can also print the case and the drawer in Vase-Mode. makes it super easy and fast to produce, just target a wall thickness of 1mm, otherwise the divider is quite loose on the inside. I have tried wall thickness of only 0.6mm > it also works, but stability is reduced and you probably can't stack them too high.
