Summary

Small-Part Storage โ€” Stackable Drawer Case with 24 Divider Layouts ๐Ÿ—„๏ธ

Screws, connectors, nozzles and beads end up in one jar, and finding one part means emptying it. I wanted a drawer for every kind of small part, divided the way those parts need, so I designed a four-drawer case and a full set of divider layouts to go in it.

๐ŸŸฉ ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐— ๐—”๐—ž๐—˜๐—ฆ ๐—œ๐—ง ๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ž

โ–ธ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฐ ๐——๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜€ โ€” Uniform grids from one open bin (1x1) to sixteen compartments (4x4), plus eight mixed layouts with wide and narrow strips. Every drawer fits every slot, so mix them however you like.

โ–ธ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜-๐—ข๐˜‚๐˜ ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ โ€” Pull a drawer all the way out and carry it to the bench.

โ–ธ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น-๐— ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ โ€” Four countersunk holes in the back take #6 or M3.5 flat-head screws, and recesses in the back of each drawer clear a screw head that sits a little proud.

โ–ธ Screws, nuts and bolts

โ–ธ Grids are across x deep, looking at the drawer from its handle. A 2x3 is two compartments side by side and three from front to back.

โ–ธ Mixes list their strips left to right, and each number is how many pockets that strip has from front to back. A plain number is a half-width strip, n is a narrow third and w a wide two-thirds.
