Pegboard Small Parts Drawer

Updated December 27th, adding a version for 3mm pegboard.

After extended 3D printing, small components accumulate—screws, nuts, dowels, magnetic bearings, and more—a multitude of items, albeit not numerous in quantity.

Therefore, I designed this pegboard drawer set, ideally suited for organizing these small parts.

Each drawer measures 74mm x 51mm x 36mm (L x W x H), with three drawers per set sharing two supports.

Drawer supports are categorized as Type A and Type B, distinguished by their pegboard hook placement.

As illustrated below, the red circle indicates Type A drawer supports, and the green circle denotes Type B drawer supports.

Type A supports can be stacked vertically, while Type A and Type B supports can be arranged horizontally, allowing for limitless expansion.

The drawer supports incorporate detents to prevent accidental drawer detachment during forceful pulling.

Advantages:

1. Lightweight and material-efficient. Each drawer set (three drawers) requires approximately 104 grams of filament; using PETG, the material cost is roughly $3.
2. Infinitely expandable. As the number of small parts increases, additional drawer sets can be printed, expanding horizontally and vertically without limit.
3. Requires no hardware; all components are 3D-printed.
4. Easy to print. I've pre-arranged the print layout; one print yields three drawers, two supports, and six detents—a complete module—all printed in just over three hours, ready for immediate assembly.
5. Aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps it's an engineer's aesthetic, but I find it quite attractive. Printing the drawer supports in different color combinations could add a playful touch.

Assembly Instructions:

1. Install the left and right drawer supports

   

2. Install the drawer detents (the six small parts circled in red below; simply insert from top to bottom).

   The detents prevent accidental drawer dislodgement. With detents installed, drawers hang securely on the support edges, as shown in the image below.

   

3. Insert the drawer bodies to complete the drawer set assembly

   

4. Install adjacent drawer sets (note: due to hook placement, horizontal drawer set orientation is flexible, but vertical installation requires installing the lower set first, otherwise, the hooks will not engage).

   

   Enjoy!
