Resistor Storage

thingiverse

Here is yet another 3d printable resistor storage. You can also use it for storing other small items (LEDs, transistors, screws, nuts, etc.) I designed drawers of 4 different sizes. The faces of the drawers are printed separately and then glued to the drawers. The faces are printed in 2 colors and contain the value of stored resistors. You can also choose another type of faces that have cutouts. After gluing them to the front of the drawers, you can slide in piece of paper with handwritten or printed label describing the content. Printing entire storage with 168 drawers takes <b>over 200 hours and 1.5-2 rolls of filament</b>, which means it will be heavy (and costly). All parts are printed in PLA. Vertical sections are glued together with Super glue. The bed needs to be very well leveled especially when printing labels. Due to possible variations in tolerance between difference printers and different slicer settings, I'd recommend printing 1 drawer and making sure it fits well before printing them in bulk.
