ALDI Nord Sortierbox Faceplate

There's whitelabel products of this organizer sold by retailers and supermarkets such as ALDI Nord in Germany. Compared to VarioPlus Hobby 33 for instance, the drawers have slightly different dimensions and differ in other ways as well.

This is why the design I remixed this thing from does not fit.

I had to alter it in several ways and also improve it for best use:

1. I increased the width of the plate from 70mm to 73mm so that the drawers' genuine label holder snaps perfectly into the new face plate
2. I decreased the window-height for the label from 15mm to 10mm to reflect the smaller label holder of this organizers' drawers
3. I increased the plates' height from 38 to 40mm so that it perfectly aligns with the drawers' base
4. I moved the top clips down by 1mm so that the drawer still slides into the slot with the plate on

5. I added spacers to the feet of the plate (positioned and angled to fit the drawers' dimensions) The idea of the spacers is that you can attach some double-sided adhesive tape between the drawer and the spacers to further improve the plates' stability.

   The labels are printed best on 100gr paper with a dimension of68mm width and13mm height. I used the Okuda font which has its origins in Star Treks LCARS user interface design.

   To clip the plates onto the drawers, you should move the drawer from one side between the top and bottom clip and then push it carefully into its final position. It is supposed to snap into place when you do it right. :) But be careful not to break the top clips.

Notes:

Although not needed, I print this using a raft. It can be easily removed and makes sure that the plate gets printed in place. I don't (always) trust my printer. ;-)

How I Designed This

I took the original STL, imported it into Fusion360 and basically cut the model into slices for rearranging, repositioning and altering what was needed to make this plate fit onto my specific drawers.

At some points I also used the extrusion feature e.g. to add the spacers.
