Stanley small drawers removable dividers

This project has the objective to divide the small drawers into multiple removable containers, effectively multiplying the available number of slots. 

Could you achieve the same just printing divider walls to slide in the built in slots? Not really. You risk getting everything mixed up if a wall displaces a bit. Moreover, you cannot extract just one of the partitions, you need to carefully transport the whole drawer. That said, if you only want walls, you can find many designs here on Printables, which are also much faster to print.

Print settings:

• For the dividers: at least 3 walls with 0.4mm layer width 
• For the containers: you can choose if you want to use vase mode with a high line width or as much walls as you want with zero infill and zero top layers.

Suggested settings for the containers/my print settings: 

• Vase mode: ON
• Line width: 0.8mm (you can totally do it with 0.4mm nozzle, just watch your speed!)
• Bottom layers: 5
• External wall speed: 40mm/s (watch the flow rate and keep it in a good spot for your hotend)
• Temperature: T+5°C (you might need to increase your default temperature by 5 degrees to have a good, consistent extrusion of these very wide lines)

Note: The dividers are not symmetric, they are meant to slide in only in one direction. Consider that the Stanley drawers can have high dimensional variations, the model is designed to account for this.  Even if the drawer is pretty crooked, don’t force the print too much, probably it should be inserted in the other. Rotate the print 180° along the z axis and try sliding it in again.
