Stackable Multi-layer Multi-purpose Storage Box with Drawers and Protective Cover for Seasoning Packets, Small Items, and Ginger/Garlic

I designed a multi-purpose storage box for the kitchen, used to organize various seasoning packets, meal kits, and peeled, unused ginger and garlic.

As shown in the design drawings, the small box is 23 cm long and 16 cm wide. The height can be adjusted according to different stacking functions. The box size itself is not small, designed to store as many various meal kits from the kitchen as possible. The box wall thickness I designed is 2mm, which is strong enough to store meal kits and similar items without any problem. The drawer part is designed to be stackable. If you want to store various small kitchen items, you can print several and stack them up. Label the drawers to store items such as disposable gloves, small ziplock bags, meal kits, disposable spoons and chopsticks, various seasonings, etc. You can classify and stack them according to your own preferences. The top layer is divided into 3 areas. The grids of different sizes on the left and right sides of the lower layer are used to store various sizes of sauce packets, which can be placed vertically for easy access. The upper layer is designed with a lid. Sometimes, garlic and ginger are peeled but not fully used up when cooking, and there's no place to put them. It's more convenient to grab them for the next meal. A lid is also designed to cover it to prevent oil fumes and dust.

For printing materials, PETG and PLA are recommended. Since it's a small desktop item, high strength is not required, so PLA printing is recommended. I had no issues printing with Bambu Lab's own PETG HF, PLA Basic, and PLA Lite materials. However, different brands of materials have different sinkage rates, which may cause the hole for stacking to be too tight or too loose. If it's loose, you can use a drop of super glue to help fix it. If it's tight, you might need to lightly file it twice with a round file. Based on my own tests, Bambu Lab's materials fit just right. They snap in with a little force and are very firm, combining well even without glue.

For printing parameters, I used Bambu Lab's default parameters without much adjustment. Most prints were successful on the first attempt. One part that needs attention is the top layer seasoning holder part. My orientation is optimal, allowing for less support, and ensuring the overall flat surface is smooth and free from warping. When printing, I also recommend not using the same material for supports as the main body. It's best to use two different materials, which makes it easier to remove supports after printing. If the same material is used for supports, it might be difficult to remove. However, even if the support position is removed imperfectly, it won't affect usability and will not affect the appearance at all.

Since the length is 23 cm, which exceeds the A1 mini printing size, this model is not compatible with A1 mini, but all other models are fine except A1 mini. Use a 0.4mm nozzle for printing. The build plate is recommended to be glued, because they are large flat surfaces, and warping is likely if no glue is applied. For parts like drawers, once warped, they may not operate smoothly.

There are actual printed photos in the introduction, please refer to them. I used leftover filament, so the colors are mixed, please bear with it. If you like this design, please boost me.
