Flexible Storage System with Drawers

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

So if you want to print the 80mm single size component, you need as mandatory files the case_80.stl and the drawer_80.stl. The divider_80.stl is optional, depending if or how many you want to have. For the other sizes the filenames follow the same rule.

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.

The print of even the big one with 120mm width still fits on the Prusa Mini+ for all parts in one shot.

So I can stay awake longer to make more designs (or fix the existing ones…)
