Fully Customizable Drawer System

cults3d

Our fully customizable drawer system is perfect for storing items like electronic components and DIY/craft supplies. Customize everything from the size and number of drawers to the configuration of the sections within in the drawers. This project is designed to be printed without the need for supports. This design is completely free and shared under a permissive license. Your support is hugely appreciated. Did you know? Some of our designs cannot be found on Thingiverse.

This design has the following Customizer options: General Part - Drawer or Chest? Material_Thickness - Thickness of the material Drawer Drawer_Width - Width of the drawer Drawer_Height - Height of the drawer Drawer_Depth - Depth of the drawer Drawer_Sections_Across - Number of sections across Drawer_Sections_Deep - Number of sections deep Drawer_Section_Wall_Height_Percent - Height of section wall as percentage of possible height Handle_Width_Percent - Width of handle as percentage of possible width Handle_Height_Percent - Height of handle as percentage of possible height Section_Wall_Cutout - How to cutout section walls based on handle settings Chest Drawers_Across - Number of drawers across Drawers_High - Number of drawers high Drawer_Gap - Amount of gap around each side of the drawer (sides, top and rear) Runner_Width_Percent - Width of runners as percentage of possible width Runner_Height_Multiplier - Height of runners as multiplier of material thickness All - Preview Show_Drawers_In_Preview - Show drawers in chest in 'All - Preview Only' mode Slide_Out_Drawers_In_Preview_Percent - Amount to slide out drawers in 'All - Preview Only' mode as percentage of drawer depth Design Considerations The size of the chest is determined by the dimensions of the drawers and the chosen drawer gap. So you should decide upon the size of the drawers before printing the chest and all drawers within a chest should be the same size. Once you have chosen the size of the drawers, you can print multiple drawers with different sections but you should not adjust the Material_Thickness or the Drawer_Width, Drawer_Height or Drawer_Depth settings for other drawers intended for use within the same chest. The Drawer_Gap setting is designed to allow you to adjust the air-gap around the drawers without adjusting the dimensions of the drawers. We've found a Drawer_Gap of 1.0 (mm) to be sufficient, but results will vary for different 3D printers. If unsure, you can test the gap by printing a drawer of your chosen dimensions and a chest for a single drawer (Drawers_Across set to 1 and Drawers_High set to 1). If adjustment is necessary, you can adjust the Drawer_Gap value and the drawer can be re-used in your final print. From v1.1 onwards, the Runner_Height_Multiplier setting enables you to adjust the thickness of the runners. You can increase this value to increase the durability of the chest. We recommend you save a preset in OpenSCAD for each drawer and chest configuration you choose, so that you can easily recall the Customizer settings later if needed. Material This design is perfect for printing in many filaments, including PLA, PETG and ABS.
