openSCAD Requirement

You need to download chamfer.scad and put it in the same folder as the scad files for them to work!


STLs

I have uploaded a selection of STLs for common sizes with the following options selected.

  • 8x1mm glue-in magnet openings
  • One less magnet than the number of units in height
  • Single, full width handle
  • Single compartment drawers


Magnets

If you want to use magnets to keep the drawers closed you will need some 8x1mm ones like these if you are using the STLs or default settings.

I suggest super gluing them in place so they don't fall out. Put a drop of glue on the rim of the magnet and set it on a hard surface, then press the housing or drawer down onto the magnet to seat it.


Suggestions

If you have any suggestions for improvements or additions, or if I missed anything, please let me know! I did my best to fix all the issues with the scad files but I might have missed something.


Print Settings

  • Nozzle Diameter: 0.40mm
  • Layer Height: 0.20mm
  • Shell thickness: 0.4mm
  • Bottom/top thickness: 0.8mm
  • Infill: 0%
  • Brim: No

 

Yes, ZERO infill

As zeropage says, no infill greatly reduces print time without affecting strength much due to how little empty space there is inside the walls.
