Custom 3D printed stackable drawers
Footprint
Measured on the outside of the shell. Parts with the same width and depth stack.
Drawer fit
The gap left all round the insert. The insert comes out 184.2 × 247.1 × 84.2 mm.
Walls
Drawer front
The front panel stops short of the floor, with a level edge to hook your fingers under. That edge is printed as a bridge between the side walls, so your printer may need support under it.
Stacking
About this storage drawer
A 3D printed storage drawer in your own width, depth and height: a shell and the insert that slides in it. These are stackable drawers: one sits on another, and a desk organizer of the same width and depth stands on top, so you can build a desk organizer with drawers to the size of your desk. Enter your measurements and download the STL files to print. There is no CAD to learn.
What people make with it
- Low stackable drawer, 60 mm tall, for pens, cables and cards.
- Medium stackable drawer, 90 mm tall, for stationery and small tools.
- Tall stackable drawer, 130 mm tall, for chargers, tape and bulkier things.
Each is a starting point. Open one and change it to your own size. Stack two or three, then stand the stackable desk organizer on top at the same width and depth. See them together in the 3D printed desk organizers.
What you can change
- Size. From 120 to 400 mm wide and deep and from 50 to 200 mm tall, measured on the outside of the shell, in millimetres or inches.
- Drawer fit. The gap left all round the insert so it slides, from 0.2 to 1.5 mm. The editor shows the size the insert comes out.
- Grip. A lip to hook your fingers under, a slot through the front, or a notch in its top edge.
- Walls. From 2.4 to 5 mm thick.
- Stacking. Tabs on top for whatever sits on it, and recesses underneath for sitting on another drawer. Leave either off at the top or the bottom of a stack.
Printing it
- Two files from one generation: the shell and the insert. Choose which to download, then download the other.
- The shell is printed standing on its back, so no wall has to span the opening. The insert prints as it stands. The slot and the notch need no supports; the lip's level edge may need support, depending on your printer.
- Choose your printer and the editor checks that each part fits its bed.
Common questions
How do the drawers line up when stacked?
Each shell has four raised tabs on top and four matching recesses underneath. Their places come from the width and depth alone, so any two parts made at the same width and depth line up, whatever their heights.
Can I stack drawers of different heights?
Yes. Only the width and depth have to match. Make each drawer at the height you want and stack them in any order.
Does generating both parts use two of my free generations?
No. One generation builds the shell and the insert together and counts once. Downloading the second part is not another generation.
Do I need an account?
No. You can generate and download without one. An account keeps your saved configurations, so you can come back to them.
