Storage Add-on for Modular Arduino Workstation

============= BREAK NOTICE =========================

Hello 3D printing friends!

Due to work requirements, studies and home renovations we will be little to not active on MakerWorld for the next coming weeks. Should there be remarks / feedback that you would like to share and would love to see implemented in our work or certain models, please send us a DM as those will be much easier to find and read after coming back. General comments etc on models tend to get buried which is unfortunate and is something we would like to avoid as we take your feedback seriously.

We apologize for any inconvenience our absence might cause but rest assured all messages will be addressed upon our return to designing!

Cheers!

====================================================

Storage Add-on for Modular Arduino Workstation

The perfect companion alongside any Arduino starter kit available! 

Supported with more modules and mounts being released with future updates.

In this separate upload I'm excited to release the Storage Add-on for my Modular Arduino Workstation. Since there will, again, be some small instructions to follow, I choose to upload this add-on separately to avoid it becoming to overwhelming.

For updates on the project, please scroll to the update section down below.

Newest update on: June 14th 2025, STEP FILES for add/ons!

Compatible with the following Bambu printers: X1 series, P1 Series, A1 and H2 series printers

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• If you have already printed my full workstation and plan to add this storage upgrade you may or may not have to do a little re-work.

  Details will be provided below in the instruction. The majority of parts can be re-used except for the bolts used to attached the lid.

Instructions

• Use profiles included! This ensures the bolts are printed to be more reliable.

  Adjust any profiles at your own risk.

• Print the plate with the storage compartment
• If you do NOT have the nuts and washers needed, please print the plate with these items found in the profile
• Choose the print profile for the ‘basic’ drawers or the drawers with insert (more to be released in the future).
• Print plates with replacement bolts (prints per object)

• Optional: if you are not planning on using the lid, print the plate with spacers to fill the gap between 

  baseplate hinge and compartment hinge.

  PLEASE ALLOW BUILDPLATES WITH LARGER PARTS TO COOL!

  Removing the models prematurely can cause them to warp and not fit properly.

Assembly:

IMPORTANT: When picking up / transporting the workstation with the storage attached, I recommend using 2 hands! Unfortunately due to the added weight and the design of the latches (I will re-design these in the final version) the storage compartment tends to open up when picked up using only one hand. So in order the prevent electronic parts all over your desk I will say: “Do as I say, not as I do” ;)

Tips and remarks

• Unfortunately the latches on this workstation are NOT as perfect as I would like them to be and I apologize in advance should it not entirely meet expectations. In order to perfect it, it would have required a complete re-design of the baseplate and I did not want to burden the majority of users with having to re-print the baseplate as this would be very wasteful.

  Thus I only redesigned to latches to be smaller.

• I'm planning on designing one final version of a workstation that may required same actual hardware (M3 screws for example) in order to provide a very strong and rugged latch / hinge system. It is my intention to also open this workstation up to the Raspberry Pi Model B's, Arduino Mega and perhaps the ESP32 but this is going to take some time ;)

Print Settings (recommended)

• No supports needed
• Adjusted print settings for bolts + prints per object

• No AMS required

   

UPDATE SECTION:

UPDATE (June 14th 2025):

• Uploaded STEP Files for the front and side drawer! Create some amazing add/ons for this workstation and share them :) Either upload them as a print profile on this models' page or upload them as a stand-alone. Make sure to link back to this model see people know what  is for ;)

Let's work together and improve this design with your ideas and feedback. I'm only starting this workstation but my intention is to keep evolving it.

Looking for the workstation that this add-on is compatible with? (click on image below):

Looking for a Arduino workstation but not needing fancy extras? Maybe my Adjustable Arduino Workstation is enough! (Click on image):

If you like the model, please consider leaving a like and a rating with pictures of your makes! It is encouraging to see my creations out there.

Also consider leaving feedback regarding the models as it will help improve my overall skills as a beginner 3D designer!
