3D model description

Specifically designed to print in ‘vase mode’ to allow for very fast printing and low filament usage, this unique modular storage solution is quick, easy, and economical to print. I think they look great too, but hey, maybe I’m a little biased?

An ideal addition to grace the desk or workbench of any engineer, maker or hobbyist, the frames and drawers have been designed for maximised strength and scalability, making them suitable for many different storage applications.

Highlights:

  • Five different frame/drawer depth options - from 60mm to 150mm.
  • Very fast to print. At the default size, the smallest drawers can be printed in under 30 minutes, and a set of one frame and three drawers (small, medium and large) in around only 3 hours.
  • Economical due to low filament usage.
  • Designed to maximise strength and for easy scalability (tested up to 150% scale).
  • Optional drawer stops.
  • Optional stabilising feet (for the three smallest depths).
  • Optional label holders in drawer fronts.
  • Over 80 individual STL files for maximum design flexibility.

Parts / Assembly:
Each frame holds 3 drawers: Small, Medium, and Large.
The frames and drawers are available in 5 depths: 60mm, 90mm, 120mm, 150mm and 180mm.

Individual frames can be joined together using joiner strips, and there are 30mm or 60mm versions of these. Multiple joiner strips can be used together to join deeper frames (for example two 120mm frames could be joined together with 2 x 60mm joiners for maximum strength, although one will often suffice). Frames of different depths can still be joined together.

When printing a frame without integrated drawer-stops, the frame can be used in either orientation (with the narrow side either at the top or the bottom). When printing a frame with drawer stops, there is a specific model for each orientation which must be used, and this is noted in the STL filename as either ‘NarrowTop’ or ‘WideTop’

Make sure to also pay attention to the shape of the drawers when printing, as the required shape will vary depending on the frame orientation. The STLs for the drawers are also named either ‘NarrowTop’ or ‘WideTop’.

If anyone would like to post a photo/make of their prints, I would love to see them.

I am planning to add further options to this modular system in the future.

Looking for something a little different? Please check out my other fast printing designs (including another modular drawer system) and keep checking back or follow me as I have lots more designs on the way.

3D printing settings


UPDATE 19/8/22: I have just uploaded updated versions of the frame models to improve their compatibility with Cura v5.1 and SuperSlicer. If anyone is experiencing an issue with unexpected internal lines or unusual toolpaths being generated in either slicer, please download the updated frame versions.

There also appears to be a more general 'vase mode' issue in Cura v5.1, which results in all bottom layers printing in a concentric pattern regardless of the setting selected in the slicer, and this significantly compromises strength. Update: This appears to have been resolved in Cura v5.2.1


All models have been designed to print using ‘vase mode’ ('spiralize outer contour’ in Cura), so using default slicer settings will result in the models printing solid. It is also possible to print the models in non-vase mode by using zero infill and zero top layers. This could be useful for printing multiple models at a time on the same build plate (especially joiners).

Using a line width 0.6-0.8mm provides significantly increased strength (0.8mm preferred).

I normally use a 0.32mm layer height and 30-35mm wall speed for these models, as I find this gives a good balance between print quality and speed.

No supports or infill are required for any parts. However, if scaling up the models significantly, the optional stabilising feet may benefit from being printed in non-vase mode with infill for added stability.

The models shown in the photos were printed using a Creality Ender 3 V2 3D. All have been printed using a 0.4mm nozzle, however, it should be possible to use a larger nozzle size to achieve even lower print times.

Please make sure your 3D printer is designed to work safely using whichever settings you decide to use.
