YET ANOTHER MODULAR STORAGE SYSTEM

WHAT IS IT?

This is “Yet Another Modular Storage System.” The drawers have different sizes to meet your needs, and they pivot downward to make it easier to grab things within.  
The “single” size is perfect for screws, bolts, nuts, SD cards, or other small pieces. The “double” size is better suited for things slightly larger, like a glue-stick, PTFE tube cutter, blades, flash drives, coiled-up wire, etc. Finally, the “triple” size is perfect for storing pencils, pens, drill bits, screwdrivers, or anything else which is quite wide. 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Decide which size or sizes you'd like to start with. Print both a bin and a housing for that size. 
2. Find a secure place to screw the housing into the wall. Not every piece needs to be screwed into the wall. Use screws as needed as you add more drawers and weight to your particular layout. Use drywall anchors if necessary. The use of a level is recommended.
3. Once the housing is secured to the wall, snap the appropriate drawer in place. It may require a little persuasion. I find the best way to accomplish this is to press the drawer firmly against one side of the housing, then push the other side in. (If you're having trouble, consider using PETG instead of PLA)
4. Use the dovetails on each housing to expand as needed! If you'd like to screw another part of your layout to a stud in your wall, but it doesn't quite line up, use the Stud Support.
5. (optional) Use a label maker to label each drawer as needed. 

NEW: DESK MOUNT! 
Mount these under a desk or shelf. Not recommended for larger configurations. This add-on is intended only to add a few small drawers to the bottom of your desk, not to mount massive configurations like in the cover photos.

TOLERANCES
A dovetail tolerance tester is provided. The male part has “R” and “L” on it, for Regular and Loose tolerance. Loose tolerance housings are provided if needed. 

Still having tolerance troubles? So did I! I went through way too many prototypes trying to get the tolerance right, just to be told by others that the tolerances are still just too tight. I did some calibration for my filament, and that helped, but not enough. I finally broke down and bought the Califlower by Vector3D. I'm not sponsored, but that genuinely fixed my problems for me. This model has quite high tolerances.
