Ender 3 Slideable Drawer

thingiverse

I decided to create my own Ender 3 tray/drawer design after discovering that many existing designs on Thingiverse may not fit all Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro printers due to factory errors caused by inconsistent Y-axis positioning from the extrusion holding the control panel. I aimed to eliminate these potential issues and make a drawer that would be universal for all Ender 3 printers. My design features double T slots on one side, which help distribute stresses on the slots and provide added support for the drawer. The dimensions of the drawer are 4"X4.75"X1.8" (101.6mmX120.65mmX45.72mm), giving it a good amount of clearance from where my Y-axis is positioned, ensuring smooth sliding even with variations in Y-axis placement on other Ender 3 printers. This design is sturdy enough to hold small spare parts and tools for your printer. I designed the drawer to be flush with the bottom of the printer, but since mine is on feet, it may not appear flush in the pictures. A custom text is added to my drawer, but I will post a blank STL file if you prefer to print the drawer without any text. Please let me know in the comments if this design works for your Ender 3 printer.
