VMD V2 - Interlocking Vase Mode Drawers V2

The updated version of the Interlocking Vase Mode Drawers!

There are clips that slide in the gaps between the sleeves to lock the sleeves together horizontally to prevent them from sliding apart.

There are also drawer clips that will both lock the sleeves vertically and have a lip that will retain the drawer but will still allow removal of the drawer. Orient the lip up and gravity will do its thing!

See the pictures for reference.

You can print the clips with standard 0.30mm layer height settings.

In PrusaSlicer, with the smaller sized drawers/sleeves you can place 2 on opposite corners of the print bed, toggle ‘Complete Individual objects’  and set Extruder Clearance Height to 200mm, it will then print 2 sequentially.

The mid sized sleeve takes about 63g of material and about 2 hours at 150% speed

The mid sized drawer takes about 28g of material and about 1 hour at 150% speed

NOTES:

If you're like me and have tons of spool remnants laying around and aren't sure what to do with them, I have found that these are fantastic for using them up. There is no such thing as too much storage!

When stacking a lot of them, The large ones don't provide as much structural support as the others so it's best to have them at the top or on the outside.
