The GEN2 Open Bin Lack Drawers are part of the GEN2 Modular Storage System I designed which

features a simplified installation method that allows you to rearrange and customize layouts in minutes.

Where the GEN2 Open Bins differ from standard lack drawers is the opening in the front. This feature allows for easier and quicker access to small contents withing, such

as screws or small parts. The base of the drawers slants up toward the opening to aid in sliding items out through the opening. The opening has a secondary function acting as a window to see the contents of the drawer without having to necessarily label it.

Originally designed for the “Original Prusa i3 MK3 ENCLOSURE…", The Lack drawers have found their way on to many desks, workbenches, and other tables as well. Now with the Gen2's rail design you can quickly swap the storage units between work areas.

Features:
• Gen2 rails allowing quick and easier swap-ability and combinations of many Gen2 Storage System designs.
• Lack Drawers also include optional slots for magnets allowing drawers to snap into place with a nice "Click".
• Drawer stoppers keep your drawers from attacking your feet.
• Designed for larger and easier to install wood screws over the original lack enclosure drawer design.

UPDATES
	(0.6mm Optimized) Gen 2 Drawer Case - Double Redesigned to print faster using less material utilizing a 0.6mm nozzle with Arachne in PrusaSlicer 2.5 If odifying print settings make sure the bridge direction is the shortest distance for the bottom rail inserts (as depicted here) This can be corrected by adjusting “Bridging Angle” to 180° in Infill settings.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Use templates to mark the hole locations on the surface you are mounting the desired sized rail to.

• Drill out marked locations using a drill bit smaller than the diameter of the wood screw you will be using.

• Prep the rail for installation by installing M3 nuts into the hexagonal holes. You can use a M3 screw to position and tighten the nut in place.

• Install the rail using wood screws, use at least 4 screws on the outer corners to mount the single rail and and 6 to mount the double rail. (extra screw holes are available if you plan to stack more than 2 rows of drawers or contents of heavier than normal weight.)

• Prep the drawer case for installation:

- Install optional magnets if desired
NOTE: you only need to install at least one magnet, you can choose to install 2 stacked if you want more magnetism between the case and the drawer. Pay attention to polarity, they can be corrected later if needed.

- Install optional nuts in drawer case (these are only used if you are installing a shorter drawer beneath this drawer case.

- Install optional drawer stops by pressing them into place as they are friction fit. Pay attention to the orientation, notch facing down and towards the front to pass through the slot. The one labeled “L” goes on the left side of the case and “R” on the right side. (While facing the front of the case)

• Slide the case into position until it either stops or lines up with the front of the rail. (If you feel any resistance you might need to clean up and plastic imperfections around the male or female rails.

• Slide a rail lock into the rail found on the backside of the drawer case, slide all the way to the top until it buts up against the hole in the rail that contains the nut. Screw in place using a M3x8 or M3x10.

• Prep the drawer, install the optional magnet, pay attention to the polarity. (If you need to remove the magnet you can use another magnet to pull it out of place or use a small Allen wrench or paper clip inserted into the hole below it.)

• Insert the drawer by tilting in back when installing in order to pass by the drawer stopper notches. The drawer should now slide into place.

• I guess you're all done unless you want to make more drawers :)

Installing Drawers under each other

• This is the same process as above but instead of mounting the "Rail Lock" into the nut on the rail you will need to slide a “Rail Lock Upper” into place on the back of the case above or if installing a shorter drawer line up with the hole in the case above it.
NOTE: You can only install the same length or smaller drawer case under each drawer case.
