Summary

I loved the look of this classic French organizer, so I duplicated it (they no longer produce it). Dimensions are the same as the original (but the example print was made at 75%). I made it a bit less rounded, to avoid too much problems while printing. However in the suggested orientation of the model (with the back on the printing bed) there should not be too many issues. You can find different versions of the organizer body, with more or less drawers and vertical compartments for pens (and other stuff). The 2x2 variant is especially suitable to be printed at a larger size.

The test print was made with an MK4, using Input Shaping “fast” mode.

The model is Public Domain, do whatever you want with it.

Printing hints

I suggest printing it with PLA, because the STLs orientations require some bridging (in the less visible parts of the model anyway). I printed it at .20 layer height, but maybe .15 is more appropriate and helps with the steep angles. There is to test it. The drawer already has some tolerance. In case the first you print does not fit well enough, you may want to reduce it to 99% or alike: in my experience this was not useful since it fit very well.

For the drawers: the orientation is definitely a matter of compromises. If you print them with the larger bottom surface on the bed, the round corners may not be perfect (especially at 100% size and without supports; at 75% it is much better), but on the other hand the bottom will be very flat and will slide very well inside the organizer body. Printing the drawer with the back on the bed (vertically) will result in great rounded corners, more grip when opening or closing (you may like it or not: I don't like much the grip) and the need for bridging.

About the colors: back when it was produced during the 70s, there were models in green, orange and yellow. The drawers were almost always white, but black versions existed. I believe sticking with this colors will produce a great result, but other options are surely possible.
