See the original I remixed from for all the details on materials and construction. I did some small changes here to make it more parametric. Added user input variables for length and width, constrained sketches, made some measurements based on other measurements, etc. I mostly did this for myself before I thought about uploading it, so it might not have everything in the original, like I took out the patterns in the sides and the screw holes that attach it to a shelf. I glued the printed racks onto a MDF board that I cut to snug size for my specific cabinet. This way I can pry it out if I want to and no damage to the actual cabinet.

This file is kind of a mess, with some errors, but it mostly works. Fusion has a weird glitch with this model for some reason; if you just change the variables while the history marker is at the end, the track front will update to be a copy of the wrong part. The work around I found is “move to beginning” on the timeline before making changes to the variables, then spam the next step button for it to build it one step at a time. Don't move straight to end or it will do the same glitch.

I uploaded some step by step photos of how to adjust the variables in fusion and how to do the work around for the track front.

A note on width- its measured as the mm between the outsides of the shelf, NOT the rails. The shelf itself is 4mm on each side, so the inner width that the spices take up would be the “width” variable - 8mm. The track is 5.3mm wider than the shelves, so the total width in the cabinet would be the “width” variable + 5.3mm.

I like my spices to be a little snug on the shelf so they cant fall out. My typical sized spice jars work well with 255 length, 52.7 width. My bigger ones work well with 257 length, 59.7 width. The original I remixed from uses 250 length, 59.7 width.

I custom made the labels with my Cricut, the file is here:
