Model Description
Organize and store your resistors in this neat stackable drawer box. Each drawer had 3 compartments with a length of 6 cm (2.76 inch) that are fit for standard...Show more trough-hole resistors. You can stack as many boxes as you need using the connectors. The drawers will not fall out if you open them.

Everything is easy to print, without supports, although to make it fit nicely you need a decent printer, and the standard handle on the drawers expect some 'bridging' from your printer (turn part cooling fan on for PLA). The Thin Handle does not require bridging.

It was specificaly designed to be printed at layer height of 0.2 mm, and layer width of 0.48 mm (standard for 0.4mm nozzles). Although it will probably print OK in other settings.

I also included a word-document that you can print, containing labels of the correct sizes for the E-12 resistor values from 10 Ohm to 1 M-Ohm. Feel free to edit them :)
A glue stick is suggested for keeping the labels in place, although it is not strictly necessary.

For stacking, you need to print the right versions of the boxes. The names of the STL files should speak for themselves and tell you where in the array that box will fit.

For any requests or comments, please post a message.

UPDATE: This thing is now fully customizable. Make storage boxes of your own specifications using the Thingiverse Customizer, or by editing the .scad file. Have fun!

UPDATE 2:
- Added an 'empty drawer' on request (STL).
- These empty drawers, and other custom drawers, can also be created using the customizer.
- Added a new type of handle for the drawers (thin handle).
- Added word-document with labels for the thin handle drawers.
- Fixed an issue when the walls in the drawers could get stuck on the drawer stoppers.

UPDATE 3:
- Fixed the width of the normal handle to correctly adjust for drawer width.

UPDATE 4:
- Fixed an issue where the customizer rendered correctly, but would give an error when trying to create a derived thing.
- Fixed issue with handles on very small drawers.
