1/4-Watt Resistor Drawers and Cabinet

(Pardon the many colors of drawers - I was using up old filament and printing drawers in the order of resistor value discovery.)

A simple cabinet designed to hold lots of loose resistors. Drawers are designed in length for ¼-Watt resistors - they can comfortably nest 2 front to back. Width of drawer slot is roughly 1". Drawers also have a small notch in the left hand side to make it easier to get a single resistor out of the drawer (my fingers are a little too fat for that task without the notch). Drawers have a retaining tab on the back to make it so that they cannot fall out.

Drawers can be found in the ZIP files below - They are grouped in values (Under 1K, All K-Ohm, All M-Ohm) Cabinet has a couple options: a single test drawer, a 5x1 row and also a 5x5 cabinet. (Feel free to stack the 5x1 drawer up to your required height in your favorite design program.) 5x5 cabinet has 4 screw holes in the back for mounting on a wall.

Print in your choice of materials - I used up a lot of random PLA rolls I had laying around - probably would have been better in ABS. Cabinet is printed flat on its back. Drawers are printed flat (support required for the pull tab) This is an older project - I didn't have a way to put a second contrasting color on the drawer labels - now I wish I had that, but I'm too lazy to reprint right now.

(Resistors not included in project - Feel free to collect all of yours and sort them into the bins you make!)
