DIY Organizers for Ikea Drawers
The great thing about this print is that the file is a universal and can be adjusted to fit most drawers. There is even a bottomless version (which is what we chose) that uses less filament and is faster to make.
Start by exporting your print file into a slicing program such as Slic3r and adjusting to your drawers. These fit our Ikea Alex Drawer perfectly and we didn’t need to adjust the parameters.
Then create a Gcode (this is the instructions for your printer) and set up your choice of filament and let your printer do the work! The printer will create your organizers layer by layer. Once started, each print takes about 1.5 hours or you can print multiples at the same time.
Once printing is done you just have to remove DIY organizers from the printing bed and set them up in your drawers.
3D Printing is a great way to imagine and create what you need for your home. These diy organizers can be any color or shape so you can make whatever suits your style and needs.
