Description

 

The EdgeLabel Series is a collection of drawer faceplates for the GEN2 Decor Series. Simply print the drawer bodies HERE, and slide your personalized faceplate in place. Lock in place with an optional M3 screw and nut.

The EdgeLabel series is focused on functioning as a modular method to label drawers easily. The faceplates feature a build in handle than looks modern and pairs nicely alongside the original GEN2 drawers. They are designed to be easy to print using multiple colors not only on multicolor 3D printers, but single color printers as well.

HARDWARE
Includes affiliated links to help support my projects
• Filament - PLA (I used Prusa Orange PLA)
• M3 screws: M3x6 (I prefer this kit)

 

UPDATES

V1.1 (1-20-2024)

• This update omitted the M3 nut slot and instead uses a new self-tapping hole for M3 screws.

• Divided the faceplates to allow for an optional addition color if desired, can also be toggled or modified for fun appearances.


 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Your printed parts should look similar to what's shown here, for this example I'm using a GEN2 1x0.5 Decor Slim Drawer - Medium..

• (Optional/LEGACY V1.0 only) Install the M3 nut into the faceplate to lock it in place. The faceplates stay in place well on their own but this is a great way to secure them if needed. Using a slightly longer M3 screw such as an M3x8 pull the M3 nut into the hex shaped slot on the faceplate. Remove the M3x8 screw and proceed to the next step.
Note: V1.1 faceplates are self-tapping and do not require a M3 nut.

• Slide the faceplate onto the front rails of the GEN2 Decor drawer like shown.

• (Optional) Use M3x6 screw and thread it in from the inside of the drawer front to the self-tapping hole (or M3 nut on V1.0) to lock the faceplate in place. 

• Slide the label into place on the faceplate as shown.

• You can now print and swap labels between faceplates at any time with ease.

 

Slicing Tutorials

I've provided both 3MF and STL files for the labels and faceplate and labels.

Opening the 3MF file you should find the file already sliced and ready to be printed, depending if you need to select a different printer. When opening the STL file the model will show as one solid color, to separate them to print in multi color simply right click on the STL in the list of objects, select "Split > To parts" as shown below. This can be done in both PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio or similar.

 

How to set up a new label using the Blank STL

• Lets start with a blank label opened from the STL.

• In the list of objects right click the label STL and select “Add Part > Text”

• In the text menu you can select the font, size, justification and more. Here are the settings I prefer. I recommend using a condensed semi-bold font such as Saira ExtraCondensed ExCond available here. Simply drag your text into position on the label model (I left a small amount of room to the left of the text for the next optional step)
 

• (Optional) Add icons, I find this to be a very effective way to identify the contents of any container, luckily slicers make it easy to add them to the model and even swap them out once in position. Just like for the text, right click the label in the object list and select “Add Part > SVG”

Select you SVG and drag it into position on the label. (I've included a collection of SVG with this model but you can use any design. Here are the settings I use.
 

• (For MMU/AMS Multi Color Printers) In you slicer you can now assign the colors to the Text and SVG you just created.

• (For Single Color Printers) Select the “Slice” button, this will add a vertical slider to preview layers the gcode. Drag this slide down a few layers just above the layers containing the top layer of the label body, select the plus shown on the slider button.

This adds a programmed filament change when printing the label allowing you to swap to the color of the text you want.

And that's it! This process works great whether you are printing a single label or a dozen.
