@FreeCAD It’s Friday already? Time flies.
This week I hustled my way through designing, prototyping, and printing a modular kitchen drawer inlay system that is specific to my kitchen drawer (and coincidentally maxes out my print bed).
The models are fully parameterized (even if all measurements are fixed and won’t change and nothing of this would fit anywhere else, but hey 🙃), the boxes fit on both types of struts, the struts are designed to fit the drawer, you simply put in the struts, adjust them and slot the box in.
The box uses custom anti-warping supports that can be easily snipped off after printing. They’re an afterthought and I took a nasty shortcut in the model to add them … Maybe I’ll properly re-do them someday.
The overhangs from the side walls over the slots don’t need support, my printer manages this well (phew!).
Overall, I’m happy how this project turned out.
Before, that drawer (admit it, we ALL have “that drawer”) was only a third usable, because the sides are open. Now it’s not only fully usable, but also organized.
One box is missing and still needs to be printed (it’s a 13 hours print and my printer needs babysitting for the first layer and before the side walls start printing).

… and even better when it turns out as expected and works as designed.
