Parametric Vase-Mode Component Drawers
======================================
First I stumbled across https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2857697, which
offered drawers in a couple of sizes and a few different frame
configurations to hold them, all of which are intended to print in vase mode
for speed and economy. I then found
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3046179, which remixed the drawer to
include space to include a paper tag.
What if you want larger or smaller drawers, or more than a 4x4 frame? I'm
thinking smaller drawers in a frame with more slots would be useful for
electronic components on pieces of cut tape, for instance.
A few hours with OpenSCAD later, this is the result. :)
I've pre-rendered drawers and frames in "medium" (40x20x80 drawers,
compatible with the things listed above) in a variety of configurations and
"small" (18x12x80 drawers) in a 10x10 configuration. Change the parameters
near the top of the source code and you can produce whatever size you want.
You could probably even make replacement drawers for an off-the-shelf parts
cabinet, so long as you feed it the right dimensions.
