Small Shelf with a Drawer and Cable Stash For 3M Command Strips (Multiple Versions)

Update 10/5/2024:  There are now four versions of this shelf, with 4 types of those versions for a total of 16 different possible designs (more if you use the custom hardware drawers).  

This is a small shelf, with a usable area of 153x95mm and a couple options for mounting (3M Command Strips or screws), and also two drawer options (a large drawer and a smaller drawer with space for stashing excess cables). 

The large drawer version is pretty simple, it just slides in from the back of the shelf before mounting the shelf.  

The difference between versions is the design of legs of the shelves.  The original version has an arched leg, however it was noted that design can leave some ugly layer lines sometimes (so adaptive layers is recommended).  The 2nd version has some 45° legs, and the third and fourth versions have smaller 45° legs, with the 4th version also having a hexagonal pattern inlayed into the legs.  

Each version of legs, comes in four types, which are:

• With 3M Command Strip or #10 screw mounting to a wall
• A large full length drawer, or a shorter drawer with a second compartment to conceal some cable (such as the excess cable from a USB device on the shelf).

The option with the shorter drawer and a “cable stash” has holes to feed a cable in from the bottom through to the top of the shelf.  For the small drawer version, the compartment for the wire storage is only accessible during installation.  The excess cable can just be tucked into the compartment behind the drawer (see the pic):

There are also now two additional drawer options, which do not have any handles, but have indents (as a drilling guide on the inside of the drawer), so many off the shelf handles can be added.  The guides are set up for a center hole (for a knob), or for handles with 128mm, 96mm and 3" spacing between holes.  The models to use if you plan to install a custom pull or handle are:

SMALL_SHELF-1J_SM_DRAWER_CUSTOM_HANDLES.stl

SMALL_SHELF-1J_LG_DRAWER_CUSTOM_HANDLES.stl

Other Stuff:

I did not test print every version o this model, but the changes between types are mostly cosmetic.  I did test print several of the “type 1” versions, and they worked fine.  Since the changes between types is mostly cosmetic, I do not expect any issues.  But if you do find a problem, please comment and I will try to fix it. 

On the version with a small drawer and wire stash, the stash is about 25x30x150mm, so it should hold most small wires for things like a clock (or a baby monitor).  The small drawer has an inside volume of 30x67x150mm, and slides in from the back with a catch, so it cannot be pulled all the way out.  The drawer shelf version without a stash, has a drawer volume of 30x95x150mm.

The legs have 120mm of space between them, and use large 3M command strips like these (my Amazon affiliate link, where I earn a small commission), or #10 screws to mount to the wall with 140mm between holes.  The command strips are great for stuff like this, but if using them, a smooth PEI sheet is recommended (since the strips will stick much better to a smooth base). The command strips also seem to stick better to PLA, compared to PETG.  

There is a 17 plate BambuStudio 3mf profile for a Bambu X1C with 0.4mm nozzle, no supports, 3 walls and 15% rectilinear infill included. The profile should be compatible with Orca and Prusaslicer, but I have not tested it in those slicers.  I colored each type of shelf in the 3mf profile and labeled the to help differentiate them.  Note that the for the type of shelf with the arched legs (the original version), if you are going to use the small shelf with a cable stash, the file “SMALL_SHELF-1J_SM_STASH_DRAWER.stl” is used.  For all the other versions, the cable stash compartment is “SMALL_SHELF-2A_SM_STASH_DRAWER.stl”.  This is because the hole design was changed between versions, but if you use the included 3MF, the correct parts will be on each plate.

If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints.
