Kallax-Compatible 12-Drawer Insert with Adjustable Dividers

This modular drawer insert is custom-designed to fit perfectly into an IKEA Kallax cube, transforming it into a highly functional 12-drawer storage system that utilizes the full depth of the shelf. Originally intended to store sleeved or unsleeved trading and playing cards, its versatility extends far beyond—with adjustable dividers in each drawer, it’s ideal for organizing 3D printer parts, tools, arts and crafts supplies, cables, and more.

Key Features:

• Flexible Storage: Adjustable dividers make each drawer customizable to your specific needs. Ideal for:
  • Sleeved or unsleeved playing cards
  • 3D Printer Parts, accessories, tools, or consumables
  • Arts & Crafts supplies
  • PC Cables
  • More!
• Multiple Drawer Face Styles: Includes several interchangeable faceplate options:
  • Hollow-core wood grain (pictured) for a vintage "card catalog" look
  • Solid-core wood grain finish
  • Flat “economy” version
    Future upgrades will include 3D-printed drawer pulls and customizable faceplates for added personalization.

Tool-Free Assembly:

• Innovative “zipper” joints snap panels together securely—no screws or hardware required.
• The main frame fits snugly into the Kallax compartment using friction alone—no glue needed.
• While optional, gluing the drawers is recommended for long-term durability.

Printing Details:

• Approximate filament usage: 6kg
• Designed for printers with a minimum 180mm bed
• Optimized for batching—multiple parts can be arranged on a single plate for efficient printing
• Includes a printable label template for drawer organization

Note: The drawer pulls shown in the photos were purchased separately (link included in documentation) and are not 3D-printed.
