This is a set of linkable drawers for holding gridfinity bins. There are three pieces: the drawer itself with the built-in baseplate, the outer shell, and (optionally) the connectors to hold multiple shells together. The connectors slide in from the front and come in single, double, triple, and quad for connecting drawers in various ways. Everything is printable without supports or large bridging.

The drawer shells are available in solid walls, or high-tech honeycombed walls that use less filament to print.

The connectors can be difficult to fit depending on your printer's tolerance. They might also work better printed in PETG instead of PLA so they have a touch less friction.

I made a variety of grid sizes; they are all the same Z height but vary in width and depth, so if you are mixing sizes they can only be combined in certain ways.

These were inspired by Travis Houston's gridfinity drawers but ended up being a complete redesign. I kept the external dimensions the same for the 2x5 drawers so they should work together, but I haven't tested this.

Updated Feb 2024 - now with optional drawer stops so you can't pull the drawers all the way out.

And, in case you wanted to put your drawer onto a Gridfinity baseplate, I created some grid connectors so you can Gridfinity your Gridfinity drawer, dawg.

Sizes available:

  • 3x5
  • 3x4
  • 3x3
  • 2x5
  • 2x4
  • 2x3

Printing:

The drawers print flat on their bottom. The shell prints standing upright on the back and the connectors print standing upright in the same way. The files should have the correct orientation saved so you can import them directly to your slicer and go. You'll probably want a brim for the connectors and maybe for the shells.

I included several lengths of connectors for each drawer size to make it easier to fit on various printers. If you can make the full length connectors fit and print, go for it, but they are mostly useful for you to trim to custom lengths.

I've printed several sets of drawers/shells/connectors in PLA, but PETG or really any material should work fine.

I uploaded both STEP and STL, but the STL are mostly meant for previewing here and you should print from the STEP files if your slicer supports it.

Customizing:

These are all generated with a parametric model in OnShape, if you want to play with it yourself: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a9277a915bd9b02662b477f6/w/8ff2348a0bac646b64f9cf6f/e/1b5dbec11611c5344d23b1f2?configuration=Grid_Depth%3D5.0%3BGrid_Width%3D3.0%3BGrid_bottom%3Dtrue&renderMode=0&uiState=647a37b5034fd51ae24deeca

The model has configuration options for the width/depth in grid units and the size of the magnet holes.
