Built for the wider version of Ikea's Alex drawers (article number 804.854.23)  I cannot speak to the fit on the other small Alex models.

I wanted a version that would print laying down to be more stable(ie. less chance of failure) and have less sag across the bridging.  I also wanted to make it top loading rather than side loading.  I chamfered the front to simplify the shape of the first layer, but also created an upright variant for those who prefer the added strength.  It just has an extra facet on the front for support and style. :-)

I found the original model was sometimes not printing absolutely perfectly, and caught on drawers as they were closing.  This was most common when added to the bottom three drawers.  The back got an added chamfer to it to help it get smoothly pushed under the edge so even if it does strike, it won't stop.  I also reduced the thickness of the top portion from 1 to 0.6mm, so there's a bit more flex than the original.  

Paper size: Cut paper to 118mm x 31mm.  I've uploaded a zip with a table in .rtf to help people get started.
