Slotted Drawer Boxes

To get rid of my drawer cabinets I designed this thing to put all kinds of screws and stuff in a single drawer of a workshop bench.

I wanted to use existing separators in the drawer, so I designed the boxes with slots on each side in OpenSCAD. The system can be adapted for many sizes – different box widths, lengths/slots and heights. I use mostly half height und quarter height boxes with different numbers of compartments.

To construct those I used a stacking algorithm that stacks centered rectangles onto another and create a single polygon out of it. This is passed to the wonderful round-anything lib from IrevDev to create the extruded 3D object with inner and outer roundings. This would have been impossible to do with OpenSCADs Minkowski method, because it does not round the inner, concave edges.

Use OpenSCAD to change all settings and remix your own boxes. Please note you will have to download and install the round-anything library from here: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-Anything
