Knife display with drawer.

Knife stand with storage drawer. Displays 3 knives proudly and stores an additional 7 knives.

Designed in Fusion 360. This is a modular design, so no supports needed. Bottom section has pins and top section has matching holes. The rear holes (3mm) had to be slightly cleaned up on mine with a drill bit, but the side (2mm) ones snapped in perfectly. You can “super glue” them together if you want but mine fit well enough to sit flat. 

Model has 4 pcs with total print time approx. 32hrs with settings below.

1. Case Bottom/Sides 
2. Case Top
3. Drawer
4. Handle (you will need two 3x14mm or 3x16mm screws to attach the handle to the drawer).

My print setting:  MK3s+ Prusaslicer

• 0.6mm Nozzle 
• 0.3mm layer height. For layer settings I left it stock 1.2mm thickness but did do 1.5mm layer height (5x .3mm) on the top thickness for the CASE TOP ONLY. This helps hide the transition better from the cubic infill and the top layer where the columns start.
• 25% infill (adaptive cubic). You can do 15% but I like how solid it feels with 25%. I did 100% infill on the handle.

Filament:  I used Sunlu grey/black PLA+ on smooth PEI print sheet. These parts take almost the whole width, so I made sure to clean the PEI sheet real good and bump my bed temp +5c. I normally run bed temp at 60-65c for SunLu PLA+. I bumped it up to 70c and had no issues with lifting.

Clearances: Drawer will fit 100% perfect. There is a designed 0.5mm gap all around the drawer. The top front edge of the drawer and the front overhang lined up very good.  I did do 2-3 passes of light wet sanding with 320 git paper. It fit fine without doing that, but I felt it was a bit tight. 

As for the drawer pockets, I designed them to fit most any folder size out there. I tend to favor larger sized folders. For those who care, my top shelf pics are Spyderco PM2 Crucarta, Spyderco Manix2 and Kershaw ZT 0452CF.

After using the model I orignally printed in the pics I modified with some improvements.

1. Lowered the 3 display columns by 10mm.
2. Lowered the drawer dividers by 15mm (easier too remove knife).
3. Lowered the top front edge of the drawer by 0.1mm to improve fitment.
