Description
New fully parametric version is available:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/2847662-modular-drawer-system-v2-fully-parametric
Lightweight alternative to Akro-Mils(64 drawer) with higher storage density.
More then twice storage volume per wall space
Less then half price in filament per volume space
Each drawer fits 8x mini trays that I use in AkroMils (4x per drawer there).
Fully modular to fill any space with drawers, optional side/top panels for rigidity.
Not for heavy stuff like screws. Originally designed for toy brick building parts, it's more then stout enough for that.
No drawer stops for space use efficiency. Drawers are small enough to pull out with one hand leaving the other hand to pick the part from it.
Cabinet frame grids can be connected with pins. Pins are flat enough not to interfere with drawers. Will need plier/screwdriver/extra tools, very unlikely to force pins with bare hands.
Optional panels snap into the same pin holes.
Filament use example:
For 9x9 drawer unit on the photo frame:
- grid 1250g(33g per single frame cell)
- 81 drawers 2675g (33g per drawer)
- optional side/top panels 300g
I used cheapest aliexpress 8$ per kg filament so everything should be under $40
For comparison Akro Mils 64x on amazon is $50, my 81x wall space 315 sq in, Akro is 300. Usable volume for mine is 1900 cu in versus AM one is 840 cu in
AM inefficiencies are in wasted spacing for drawer stop, stout side/devider panels, and my system is deeper.
