Computer wall: More drawers
How I created more and more organisers for my laptop area
It's quite funny that I keep calling this wall "computer" one when there isn't a single computer on it—just a laptop nearby, and the previous article was about makeup stuff. When I think about it, not even today am I about to make it closer to the "computer" wall.
Because I liked the outcome of the previous article, I decided to expand my computer wall with additional drawers—both narrow and thick ones, to put bulkier things in them. At first, I went for the smaller drawers. However, later, I realised I could solve the problem with the office papers and make my own paper organiser within this wall.
The modelled body has space for three drawers two centimetres high, one drawer 2.5 centimetres high, four drawers three centimetres high, and one four centimetres high.
The pocket for the office papers is 13 centimetres high. The printed body fits perfectly next to the other organisers, as usual :)
Putting the office papers into the organiser just like that would cause them to fall way too easily, so I needed some kind of front wall. And, yes, this time I wanted to avoid supports too because it would look bad in the original body. I modelled a pocket for the papers. It can be seen from the model that it has something like a tail. I didn't want the papers to have a space where they could move, and, at the same time, I wanted them right at the edge of the organisers. The tail ensures that it will hold nicely, not slide backwards and keep the papers in the front.
The devil is in the details, so to make it perfect, I put thin two-sided adhesive tape on both sides of the printed pocket to adhere the pocket to the walls of the organiser.
It fits well and looks good. The photos show that I fixed the sides of the pocket with double-sided cardboard to hold it nicely, but at the same time, it could be taken out.
It was still necessary to print all the drawers, and there were plenty of them this time. Again, I tried to keep as few different dimensions as possible.
That wasn't enough for me. I still wanted long, thick drawers for bulkier stuff. So, I modelled another body for the organiser, with only a few rows.
Each row had a different height: 2.4, 3, 4, 4.4, and 5 centimetres.
As always, the organiser fits nicely with the others.
The drawers got printed a day later, and the work was done, at least for now.
The last organiser for bulkier stuff expanded the original area where I wanted to have the organisers. It created new possibilities for me regarding where to expand and how to solve other problems with my laptop area. But I’ll talk about that next time.
