Description

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 tried wall thickness of only 0.6mm > it also works, but stability is reduced and you probably can't stack them too high.

very nice - would be good to have some interlocking mechanism, clips ot something like this to link boxes together without the need for glue etc
