I had an additional drawer from Ikea's Alexa add-on unit (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20260718/) and I wanted to mount the drawer underneath my standing desk. Hence I designed a bracket that made use of the drawer's existing rails and mounting it to the bottom of the desk using pocket holes.

To mount this, you will need the following parts from original packaging:

  • the drawer (fully assembled)
  • the two rails
  • the two screws holding the rails to the drawer
  • the four screws meant to be screwed onto the two brackets

You will need an additional 10 self-tapping #8 wood screws with the appropriate length (that it does not puncture your table top). Although I realised after mounting it that 10 pieces of screw is probably overkill...

You are free to edit the part for your own purpose (reduce the number of screws required, change the screw size, etc.) here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/1f96b421e06c35b3d578bf0e/w/7507773369343cc258fb837e/e/58afe146bcedd0464f47b610

Notes:

I printed the part with 7 walls, 4 bottom layers and 8 top layers. I wanted the perimeters to be very sturdy especially since the pocket holes are meant to hold the angle of the screw firmly while it is being drilled into the wood.

The print took 13.5 hours to complete. A time lapse of the print can be found here:
