Rotating Storage Unit

Rotating Storage Unit Summary

A completely recycled storage unit using Filament reels as the frame and 3D printed drawers. The design is modular, allowing the user to stack as many drawers as they want as well as to adapt the drawers to have sub-sections so that the drawer space can be further divided.

Step 2: Print the alignment device for the chosen filament spool, drill all the necessary holes

Step 3: Get some copper wire and bend it into a U shape and thread it through the drawers and the spool itself.

Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 for as many spools as you have

Step 5: Print the corresponding joints for the chosen spools

Step 7: Print the Foot Pad in flexible filament

Step 8: Assemble the Base Assembly(Legs and Container Mount)

Step 9: Screw all containers together using the different joints

Step 10: Finally mount the Container unit onto the base assembly.

Step 11: Bonus edit the label word document for your own parts and print out the sheet. Cut out labels and place them on the drawers.
