Bicks Modular Sorting Boxes (IKEA Alex Drawers)

Introduction 

Are you looking for a great way to get your bricks sorted? You search might be at an end. With this model you can build your full brick sorting system out of your favourite fillament and organize it in the IKEA Alex drawers perfectly.

What I really love about this is first the space usage through the 6 outer boxes per drawer and refine it with inner boxes (I) and insets (J) as you go. For a growing or rearanged sorting system it is quite perfect.

My model is based on [build123d](https://build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), a Python based modelling language that integrates into Visual Studio Code. 
You can easily modify everything in the model with the parameters or even design your own boxes.

Printing

• The print works well with PLA or PETG, due to their size the outer boxes need a bigger printer though.
• Settings are pretty much default, the walls and bottom are 2mm thick (see 3mf-files for more details)

Concept 

- A drawer takes 4 O1 (210x210mm) and 2 O2(174x210mm) boxes 
- The O1 boxes take different assortments of the inner boxes (I1 to I6). They work with multiples of 34.25mm (like 68.5mm) that works perfectly with filling in bricks.
- The bigger I3-I4 boxes can hold insets (J1 and J2) they serve a double role of modular seperators for your boxes.
- The cuts in the inner boxes are for estetics for now, but they double as a hole if you want to build up a drawer system.

[!Important]
Check out the I6 box that was added as a full inner column
Combined with a J2 it is an ideal box for starting up your sorting.

[Tiago Catarino](https://makerworld.com/en/@user_2202785044) did the measuring and splitting of the outer boxes (O1 and O2) and the inner boxes (I1 to I5). I added some tweaks and some new boxes (I6, J1 and J2).
