Description

“If I can't see it it doesn't exist” “Drawers are where tools go to die” -Adam Savage

Introducing Open Shelves: Drawers you can see into! No more forgetting that you've already bought 3 of something! Put it all on Display! And no need to drill holes in the walls of your rental!

TIPS:

-The big shelves require a 0.8 mm nozzle, and an AMS for multiple drawers

-Dry your PETG first or it might look like this

-You'll want a short hammer, a wedge (included), a metal blade, and pliers. Moreso for the big shelves

-Print opaque at 124% speed, translucent at 100%

Blender:

-Export to STL, selected objects only, 1000x scale

-In the slicer, scale to 48% or 75% for small or big shelves
-Temporarily delete boolean targets to disable them, to cut lag way down. Lowering subdiv helps too

Big Shelves

Despite optimal settings, the print is far from aesthetically pleasing

@VRDev

Do you have photos of the problem? It's usually due to wet filament

@Ole52019

Replying to @VRDev :

My filament is dry. The Problem is only by your printmodel. The Models are in my Trash.

@VRDev

Replying to @Ole52019 :

You had endless photographs and 3D previews of what the model would look like, and chose to print it anyway. That mistake is on you. Print profile reviews are for the print settings and quality of the profile, not the base model. You don't get to take out your mistake on the profile rating. Thanks for admitting to abusing the reviews. That'll make it easier to report to staff.

@lemonkey

Do you have a video or pictures of assembly? I am printing with the a1 mini and kind of confused what plates to print. For a single shelf + drawer do I print: DEMO Part 1, DEMO part 2, and a 1x Drawer? What hardware is needed to attach these parts together?

The designer has replied

@VRDev

No extra hardware to assemble it, you just stick the triangle dowels in the top triangle holes, line up the cap piece and push it on. Then jam the drawers in however, you can't screw it up. The demo plus an extra drawer would be a good start yeah. Once it's printed it should be really self explanatory, comment again if you're still confused

@lemonkey

Replying to @VRDev :

Can these be scaled uniformly without issue? I have an a1 mini and want to print shelves that max out the build plate size

@VRDev

Replying to @lemonkey :

i believe so yeah... Currently both sizes use the same models. ALL dowels use Classic walls not Arachne, it seems to fit better. Arachne varies the line width to save plastic and precision, which does work for the small shelves, while big shelves are Classic for strength. And drawers and caps work with whichever. Just be sure to check that the dowels still fit well after and you're good to go!

@Helonia

I don't know how to use blender so can you upload the individual stl files, that would be great!

The designer has replied

@VRDev

The STL file with all the print beds and models should be downloadable. There is no STL file with CAD measurements etc, since blender just exports meshes

@Helonia

Replying to @VRDev :

Hello, There are no stl files to download here, only blender files which I have to open up in blender. When I export in blender to stl, it exports all the files as one. I don't know how to use blender at the moment and don't have the time to learn it right now. I really like your design and would like to print it and not sure why the stl cannot be uploaded on this page. I guess I have to search for something similar.

@VRDev

Replying to @Helonia :

On PC click this arrow, Open in Bambu Studio. In the slicer go File, Export, 'All objects as STLs'. Again though this will only give you raw mesh files; proper CAD files with measurements don't exist. As for blender, you forgot to set "selected objects only" during the STL export (and to display and highlight the meshes you want)

PLA+ may cause the build plate (drawer) to bind, reducing the tray size is recommended, or it could be a material issue

The designer has replied

Show original

@VRDev

PLA+ binds the drawer to the build plate stronger than PETG does?? That doesn't seem right. I print with PLA+ a lot and it just pops off. If the adhesion is too great try sticking it in the freezer for a minute then flexing the plate hard. I don't understand what "reducing the tray size" means.

@Kateel

I think they mean that the drawer "binds" together with the shelf when used, getting stuck, and scaling the drawer smaller than the shelf would fix that for them. but i don't know. the post looks like it was translated slightly off.

@VRDev

Replying to @Kateel :

Hm my small PLA+ drawer/shelf feels the same as my other shelves... I wonder if they did the big shelf. I'll try it later

@jerjavec

OK, a wedge is never a bad thing to have, I mean they're admittedly a pretty handy bit of kit. But what specifically would you use one for in this print?

The designer has replied

@VRDev

For separating shelves, especially the big ones. I found that just yanking them apart can bend or break the dowels. And the big ones can be impossibly tight. The wedge makes quick work of it

@jerjavec

Replying to @VRDev :

Makes sense -- thanks for the info, and for including it. :)

Print Profile

Small Shelves

Attempted to print these but they were a stringy mess, not sure what was up with the profile but it did not print well for me.

Other Issues:Very bad stringing and clotting at different points. Not sure if it is related to the thin wall size or what but this one was a tough print that didn't really work well.

The designer has replied

@VRDev

your nozzle is clogged. a print profile can't cause stringing/clotting, since the extruder settings/temp are set by makerworld's cloud slicer. Thanks for ruining the rating of the model i spent 3 months on -_-

@user_293757480

Why do the shelves have dual material? Is the stuff on the plate to be printed PLA so you can get the PETG plates "unstuck" from the print surface?

The designer has replied

@VRDev

nah unsticking is easy, just wait for it to cool (or stick it in the freezer). The PLA is support material to make the side of the drawer come out nice and smooth. It also helps prevent it from rocking side to side and messing up the print. (And the two bits of PETG touching the bed hold it all down)
