Small Shelf with a Drawer and Cable Stash For 3M Command Strips (version 2) with STEP

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).  There are a couple improvements from the original design, including the following:

• The shelf supports are now simple 45° legs, which will help with reducing some of the ugly layer lines on the original (which had steeper slopes on the legs).
• The holes for the cable management version of the shelves are now centered and inline with each other.  That should make it easier to install or remove a cable, once the shelf is mounted to the wall.

I did not test print this version of the design, however the changes are very simple and mostly cosmetic, so there should not be any issues.  The pictures of the printed model which are included here are from the version 1, which I did print and install.  In the event there is a problem though, please provide feedback, and I will try to fix it.

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

The smaller version has a small cable stash, which can hold the excess cable from whatever is on the shelf (to keep it out of sight).  The version with a smaller drawer requires a small cable stash drawer (SMALL_SHELF-2A_SM_STASH_DRAWER.stl) to be installed after the smaller drawer is installed (see pic below):

There are also now versions 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

For the small drawer version, the compartment for the wire storage is only accessible during installation.  

Other Stuff:

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.  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 5 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.
