LINKING STORAGE TRAYS

thingiverse

UPDATE: I've designed a frame with a mounting hole that allows this system to be securely attached to a wall. While I haven't printed one yet, I'm confident it will work as intended. UPDATE: To address issues with small items slipping between compartments, I've redesigned the slots where the dividers fit into the tray. They now run across the entire bottom of the tray, providing a more stable and secure fit. I've also made the slots deeper and tweaked the divider design to ensure all parts work as originally planned. UPDATE: After printing the final four frame sections to complete this build, I noticed that they don't fit together as snugly as expected. Although they don't fall apart, they're not a tight fit like they were previously. I suspect this might be due to recent modifications made to my extruder drive, which improved resolution but also reduced tolerance. To address this issue, I've added tiny "bumps" to the female mortise areas (only 0.25mm high), which shouldn't show up on the preview image. While I don't plan to print it anytime soon, I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone tries the design out and finds that these bumps help improve the fit. This linking storage system is designed to hold all my 3D printer spares. The frames simply slot together, and trays can be separated into one, two, or three compartments as needed. It's taken weeks to print this thing, but it's helped me organize my nuts, bolts, and other parts, making it worth the wait. If I need more storage in the future, I can just add another module.
