Tower of Storage

I'm plagued by a storage dilemma, not because I lack storage capacity, but rather because I have an abundance of storage devices like USB-Sticks and SD-Cards. It's become a chore to keep tabs on them all, as each one has its own distinct purpose. So, I devised the 'Tower of Storage' to make my life as household-appointed thumbdrive-overseer more manageable. The Tower of Storage is a sleek-looking, tilted tower that can accommodate up to 30 USB-Sticks in the front and, optionally, up to 36 SD-Cards on the sides. For aesthetic purposes, the organizer is divided into two sections: The holder part, where all your USB-Sticks and SD-Cards are stored, and the stand part, which slides together with the holder. The stand serves as a stabilizer to prevent the holder from tipping over while standing, and it also functions as a small parts tray for items like USB-Caps. The holder part can be printed in its back position, requiring no support material. However, the stand necessitates supports, as the slide-in brackets cannot be printed without them. After printing is complete, remove the supports. You may need to sand down the sliding brackets slightly, as the tolerance is only 0.4mm on each side and not every printer can accurately achieve this size, especially with the supports in place. My assembly required some gentle persuasion.
