Small Shelf with a Drawer and Cable Stash

This is a small shelf, with a usable area of 153x95mm and a couple options for mounting (3M Command Strips or screws), and also two drawer options (a large drawer and a smaller drawer with space for stashing excess cables).

The legs have 120mm of space between them, and use large 3M command strips, or #10 screws to mount to the wall with 140mm between holes. The command strips also seem to stick better to PLA, compared to PETG.

The large drawer version is pretty simple, it just slides in from the back of the shelf before mounting the shelf. 

The difference between versions is the design of legs of the shelves. The original version has an arched leg, however it was noted that design can leave some ugly layer lines sometimes (so adaptive layers is recommended). The 2nd version has some 45° legs, and the third and fourth versions have smaller 45° legs, with the 4th version also having a hexagonal pattern inlayed into the legs.

Each version of legs, comes in four types, which are:

• With 3M Command Strip or #10 screw mounting to a wall
• A large full length drawer, or a shorter drawer with a second compartment to conceal some cable (such as the excess cable from a USB device on the shelf).

The option with the shorter drawer and a “cable stash” has holes to feed a cable in from the bottom through to the top of the shelf. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: For the small drawer version, the compartment for the wire storage is only accessible during installation. The excess cable can be tucked into the smaller compartment behind the drawer (see the pic below):

There are also now two additional drawer options on plate 17 in the 3mf profile, which do not have any handles.  These drawers have indents (as a drilling guide on the inside of the drawer), so many off the shelf handles can be added. The guides are set up for a center hole (for a knob), or for handles with 128mm, 96mm and 3" spacing between holes. The models (without handles) on plate 17 are:

SMALL_SHELF-1J_SM_DRAWER_CUSTOM_HANDLES.stl (use this one if you are making a drawer with the cable stash)

SMALL_SHELF-1J_LG_DRAWER_CUSTOM_HANDLES.stl (use this one if you are making a standard drawer)

Other Stuff:

I did not test print every version of this model, but the changes between types are mostly cosmetic. I did test print several of the “type 1” versions, and they worked fine. Since the changes between the types is mostly cosmetic, I do not expect any issues. But if you do find a problem, please comment and I will try to fix it.

On the version with a small drawer and wire stash, the stash is about 25x30x150mm, so it should hold most small wires for things like a clock (or a baby monitor). The small drawer has an inside volume of 30x67x150mm, and slides in from the back with a catch, so it cannot be pulled all the way out. The drawer shelf version without a stash, has a drawer volume of 30x95x150mm.

There is a 17 plate BambuStudio 3mf profile for a Bambu X1C with 0.4mm nozzle, no supports, 3 walls and 15% rectilinear infill included. The profile should be compatible with Orca and Prusaslicer, but I have not tested it in those slicers. I colored each type of shelf in the 3mf profile, to help differentiate them.

If you use the included 3MF, the correct parts will be on each plate, so you don't need to guess which parts go together.

If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints.
