Clip-On Drawer Handle Label for Husky Brand Mobile Workbenches and Storage/Tool Chests

This is a clip-on drawer label for most, if not all, Husky brand mobile workbenches and storage/tool chests, which are produced for, and sold through, "Home Depot" in the U.S.A. I don't know if these are available in other countries. There are various models, each with pull-out drawers (see attached photo).

The drawers have no markings or labels to help distinguish their contents. I purchased a Husky workbench in 2018, and put painter's tape on the handles so that I could 'temporarily' label the drawers and their contents (see attached photo). After about 7 1/2 years of using the workbench with the tape labels, I finally got around to making different labels. 

I have included two lengths of blank labels, an example label ("AUTO"), and a dot pattern alphabet which can be used to make custom labels, if you have the means to work with and manipulate 3D objects. The blank labels can be stretched to achieve different widths of labels, but do not scale the label because then it will not fit the Husky drawer handles. My assumption is that most individuals who 3D print, also have some ability to create and edit 3D objects. The dot pattern alphabet letters can be used as negative space to make word cut-outs in the labels. I have included the alphabet because I couldn't possibly create and upload every possible label that people might want.

NOTE:     I don't really like the look of the dot pattern alphabet that I made (it reminds me too much of the 70s and 80s, not in a good way), but I went with it anyway because I could print the labels without any supports. I was worried that bridging larger gaps might not work well because of the thin walls and the curved face of the labels. I guess the ideal scenario would be to have a 3D printer with dual heads, and then the words could easily be painted onto the labels in 2 colors, with minimal waste of filament, and cutaway letters would not be needed. I would not want to use an AMS because there would be more expelled filament poop than filament that was actually used for the print. I only have a single-head printer, and no AMS, so I try to find work arounds, while mostly sticking with 1-color prints.

If you do not have means to cut-out the letters to achieve your desired word on the label, most slicer software can still stretch a model to a desired height. You can print out blank labels and then write on them with a marker.

The labels are designed to print on their ends, in the orientation that I have uploaded them to Printables. I printed with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.20mm layer height, with 100% infill, using Basic Silver PLA. I did include a 3mm brim with a .25mm object-brim gap, just to help with adhesion somewhat (probably overkill), but not so close to the object that I had to spend extra time cleaning off the brim material -- the gap helps with this. I used silver PLA because it is light colored (the black handle color is easily seen through the alphabet holes), and it kind of matches the industrial appearance of the Husky products.

Once printed, the label installs from the bottom/back side of the handle, first, then it swings over the handle and clips to the back. The label is secure, but it can be removed by prying up the upper back lip of the label from behind the handle -- in essence you simply reverse the install motion. (See the install photo)
