Vase-mode Component Drawers

thingiverse

Looking at various storage options for small items such as electronic components, Lego pieces, stationery, or anything else, I've found that real-life solutions are expensive, while printable ones often result in high filament costs and lengthy print times due to their solid design. To address this issue, I decided to experiment with vase mode printing. The goal was to create simple storage units for small drawers that can be quickly printed and offer a cost-effective solution. These models provide designs for 40x80x20mm and 80x80x20mm storage units that are approximately 160mm wide, allowing users to easily place them wherever needed using Command Strips or tape. The units can also be stacked on top of each other. Since spiral printing in vase mode can sometimes produce irregular results, it's recommended to try a few test prints with small frames before proceeding with production. To make things easier, I've included full settings below that should help streamline the process. After successfully printing parts for this project using both Cura and Slic3r, I'm confident that users will be able to achieve desired results without excessive difficulties.
