I have a printer, download the model

The design is saved, you pick your printer and download a ready project with print settings.

The bins print floor down without supports. We leave a small gap between bins so they lift out freely. Take 1–2 mm off the measured drawer, its walls are rarely straight. A big tray may not fit an ordinary printer; the bins work without it.

A set of loose bins that fills your drawer

A modular organizer is a set of separate bins that fill a drawer exactly. You enter the inside size of the drawer, divide it into a grid and lay out bins of different sizes on the cells. Every bin prints separately, so you can lift it out, rearrange it or wash it. When the bins go on a desk, not into a drawer, you add an outer tray.

The tool shows the layout in the preview, lists what gets printed and works out a rough price for the whole set. We print the set on our print farm in Czechia: we send it by Packeta to a pickup point or to your door. If you have a printer, you download the single parts or a ready project for your printer free. The bins print floor down and without supports.

How it works

  1. Measure inside the drawer. Enter the width and depth inside the drawer and the height of the bins. Take 1 to 2 mm off the measured size, drawer walls are rarely perfectly straight.
  2. Divide it into a grid. Choose the number of columns and rows. The tool shows how many millimetres one grid cell measures; it needs to be at least 15 mm.
  3. Lay out the bins. Tap an empty cell and then the opposite corner of the bin. Tap a finished bin to select it and change its colour or remove it.
  4. Check the list and price. Under the preview is the list "What gets printed" with the size of each bin. The rough price is for the whole set.
  5. Order the print or download. Continue to the precise price and order the set from us; you pay from credit topped up by card. Or download the single parts under "I have a printer, download the model".

Common questions

How big a drawer can the tool handle?

The inside of the drawer can be from 60 to 600 mm in both width and depth, and the bins can be 15 to 120 mm high. Every bin prints separately, so even a large drawer is made of smaller parts.

How many bins can a set have?

At most 24 bins per set. The grid can have up to 12 columns and 12 rows, and one bin can cover several cells.

What is the outer tray for?

The tray keeps the bins together when they stand on a desk or a shelf and not in a drawer. A big tray may not fit a printer; the bins work without it.

Will the bins lift out of the drawer easily?

Yes. There is a gap between the bins, 0.6 mm by default, and the corners of the bins are rounded. You can change the gap under "Wall thickness and more".

Can every bin have a different colour?

In the design, yes: you pick a colour for each bin and it prints as a separate part. For a print from us you choose from the colours loaded in our printers at the moment.
