The GEN2 Modular System is a 3D printable storage solution offering ultimate flexibility and customization. Perfect for home users, hobbyists, and small businesses, it lets you print exactly what you need and customize each piece to match your unique style and space.

Unlike store-bought sets, GEN2 lets you print only what you need and expand your setup whenever you want. The drawers snap together seamlessly, giving you unlimited expansion possibilities. With the unique QuickLock mechanism, rearranging or relocating drawers is quick and effortless, so your storage can grow and adapt with you.

The GEN2 Classic Pro Series is for makers who want the timeless look of the original GEN2 drawer, now with a premium twist. These upgraded faceplates maintain the iconic integrated front style while adding support for both swappable 3D printed labels and custom accent pieces. Whether you're organizing with precision or dialing in a unique aesthetic using textured build plates, the Pro Series brings a whole new level of function and style to the Decor system.

• Your faceplate is now fully assembled 👍

Slicing Tutorials

*Note faceplate and labels may look different in tutorial but the process is identical

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.
