Economical Drawers

pinshape

Thanks for the blog post Adafruit! I saw several different small parts drawers on Thingiverse and noticed that most of them used a lot of filament. I wanted to make a cost-efficient version that looked beautiful and was easy to print, so I came up with this design. The Economical Shelf uses 150 grams of filament, including supports and raft. The Shelf before Voronoi pattern used 217 grams of filament without supports or raft, which means I saved 67 grams of filament! I included a raft in the design because my print bed has trouble sticking larger objects to it. This design will print perfectly without a raft. If you're interested in more modular drawer systems, here are some options: * The HIVE - Stackable Hex Drawers (Interlocking) * Modular Drawers 2.0 (Interlocking) * Modular Drawers 1.0 (Stackable) * Modular Hex Drawers (Stackable) You can find me on [insert links]. Update: I used a Voronoi pattern in my design, which saves more filament than other patterns I've tried and doesn't require supports. I'll be uploading a second version that uses even less filament and reduces print time. Print Settings: * Print the shelf at 101% * Print the drawers at 100% * Supports are needed for the shelf but not for the drawers * Rafts are not necessary How I Designed This: I designed this shelf with the Voronoi pattern to give it rigidity and reduce filament use. The many holes in the pattern also allow for easy wall mounting. Each part is designed to be strong and supportive, so you can print it without wasting a lot of filament. Dimensions: 152 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm
