REMDS80: Rapid and Economical Modular Drawer System - 80 mm

REMDS80: Rapid and Economical Modular Drawer System - 80 mm

This drawer system is both modular and expandable. You have the flexibility to print a single drawer frame module and expand later or a 4-drawer frame tower at once, which you can also expand later.

The current REMDS is available in two sizes. This page focuses on the REMDS80, measuring 80mm(L) x 80mm(W) x 16.5mm(H). Another is the larger REMDS160, sized at 160mm(L) x 160mm(W) x 16.5mm/24.47mm(H). Both REMDS are compatible.

Key Features of REMDS80:

Rapid Manufacturing: All components are designed for printing in vase/spiralize mode without the need for supports.

Economical: The vase mode allows for minimal filament usage and eliminates waste in support materials.

Multiple Frame and Drawer Options:

Two frame options for REMDS80: 

1) a single drawer, and 

2) a 4-drawer frame tower.

Choose from seven different drawers, each equipped with unique dividers to meet your organizing needs.

Expandability: Both the tower and single drawer frames are compatible. Vertical connections are secured by sliding the bottom connector to the top of another unit. Alternatively, they can be placed side by side without the need for a locking mechanism or with a simple fork can be used to secure the bottom of two neighboring units. Moreover, two REMDS80 units can slide to the top of any REMDS160 frame side by side.

Drawer Labeling Area: Notably, each drawer features a designated area for labeling the content, enhancing organizational efficiency.

Print Requirements: If you are unfamiliar with vase/spiral mode, please use the profiles provided. The profile uses 0.8mm line width for printing a 3-layer bottom and a single walled item.

Alternatively, you can print in normal mode to produce multiple components at once by setting the top layer and infill to 0. Make sure the wall is printed at 0.8mm thick for strength and stability, but not more for fitting. However, note that this method introduces seams into your model, and fitting may vary due to device variability and filament choices.

I have found that printing them in "pure" PLA yields the best results. PLA+ or other blends may flex slightly, and slight warping may be visible due to the single-walled print, although this does not interfere with functionality in my experience.
