EasyLink+ and Inspiro Storage Boxes

thingiverse

These drawers, crafted to house the EasyLink+ and Inspiro, were brought into being for the 2014 Idea Challenge, spearheaded by @Whampus. The challenge paired special education teachers with skilled 3-D modelers to design innovative assistive technology solutions to unusual problems at their school or in their district. One dedicated teacher had a unique idea: "My proposal would help tackle organization and storage of equipment used by students with hearing loss. We provide FM equipment to approximately 200 students across 13 districts, so we have a substantial inventory of equipment that needs organizing. The FM systems are used by students in schools to enhance their auditory access to instruction (in other words, they amplify sound to help them hear their teachers more clearly). Many of the pieces of equipment are small enough to be organized within plastic craft organizers, but we would like to improve our storage of the FM microphones/transmitters. Essentially, it's a custom drawer divider that would hold the transmitter units in an optimal size. We currently use very old foam that was used for shipping some equipment that we no longer need, but it has helped us store the pieces more securely than having them all together in one drawer." I designed these 3-D printable drawers as a solution to this problem. They fit neatly together in a drawer in various configurations, maximizing storage space and minimizing the likelihood of individual storage slots sliding around. They provide easy access to the equipment and its cables and wires inside.
