As makers, we often need to acquire a special kind of screw, wire, plug, etc. however as we do more projects these can pile up and become a problem, have you ever had to find that special screw you used a couple of months ago? yeah its hard and storage solutions often don't fix our problems or are very expensive, I mean just look at sortimo arguably one of the best solutions but just one box can go for up to $500 USD.

So if you wanna fix your issue on a budget and do so in a way that can help YOU this is for you.

The drawers are made with a 10 by 10 grid, this means any container you print can be rearranged to fit your needs and accommodate anything you want to organize.

Supplies:

To make this project you'll need:

A 3d printer and filament:

I used my ender 3 and PETG, you can use PLA but I like the properties of PETG

1 sheet of 12mm MDF:

Youll need to cut this so a track saw or table saw may be required however if you don't have one you can get ti cut at home depot.

Paint (optional):

If you do decide to paint it and want to get the best finish possible you'll need MDF sealer/primer and polyurethane, I didn't care much for the finish so I just used acrylic paint and applied it with a paint roller.

wood glue:

Titebond, gorilla or dap wood glue work great

TIP: if you want your glue to hold without clamps get CA (cyanoacrylate) glue and use that with the wood glue.

A brad nail gun or brad nails and hammer:

This is optional however I highly advise getting one or at the very least to try and put some nails with a hammer, here's a link to the brad nailer I used 18 ga brad nailer.

Brad nails:

18 gauge 3/4" (20mm) brad nails.

14" full extension side mount drawer slides:

Get 5 of these. as long as there 14" and side mount you can get any type of slides you want but just in case you're wondering these are the ones I got slides.

wheels (optional):

These are optional but if you want to add some get 4 locking wheels and 16 #8 1/2" nuts
