Ikea Maximera and gridfinity

I needed some quick cleanup for my workshop, so I caved and bought a couple of 60x60 Ikea kitchen cabinets to quicky get organized.

https://www.ikea.com/dk/da/p/metod-underskabsstel-hvid-50205626/

I am filling it up with 10cm and 20cm high drawers like these  https://www.ikea.com/dk/da/p/maximera-skuffe-lav-hvid-20204628/ and want to use gridfinity as I am everywhere else. The downside to the Ikea Maximera is that they have sides that are sloped. Others have created some nice sloped boxes to get more storage out of them, but they does not fit the gridfinity universe.

These boxes has a bottom that perfectly fits the Maximera 60 wide drawers and leaves room for a 10 wide gridfinity grid.  Depth for a 60 cm drawer fits 12 blocks perfectly.

The Fusion360 file is parameterized to allow for controlling the length and height of the containers, if they were to be used with the higher Maximera drawers. The depth of the 60 drawers are 504 mm  (12mm x 42mm).

I have published 100mm, 150mm 200mm and a 54mm  version. If you need more, either modify the Fusion360 file or ask me to upload the size you need.

The height of these models are for the 10cm drawers, and they are 56mm high. This is also a a parameter in the Fusion360 file.

Printing

I printed these in whatever PLA was in my PLA printer at the time, but they should be good in whatever material.  

For the other side, if you want the label at the front for easy grip, just mirror it in the slicer. 

 

Gridfinity grids placement

To center gridfinity grids when gluing them down, I made a jig that was 30.5 mm wide. I just created a box in prusaslicer/superslicer 200mm long, 30.5 mm wide and 3 mm high and used that to keep the grid centered.
