A few posts back, I described my workspace for small (fine) work in Cork Mat. I do beading, wiring, painting, jewellery of all kinds, soldering, quilling, scrapbooking, working with FIMO, just a lot. Such techniques require a lot of tools, and they no longer fit into any reasonable container or drawer. So, it's time to show my "creative organisers" similar to my computer wall. In today's post, I will describe only the drawer part.

I started by modelling the organiser for smaller things with small drawers. I chose dimensions similar to the computer wall, so 21.7 centimetres high, 10.5 centimetres deep, and this time only 9.5 centimetres wide.

I have learned from my mistakes; I followed the rule of "as few different sizes as possible", so I have six rows of 20.5 millimetres, two rows of 30 millimetres, and a bottom fixed floor of 21 millimetres, which is shorter due to the cut-out (fillet on the table). The bottom row is smaller than the bottom row in the computer wall because these organisers will sit on a cork board about 5 millimetres high and therefore need a smaller cut.

The printing went fine, with classic 0.3 DRAFT print quality.

This time, I printed the drawers straight with the modelled walls, so first, I had to think carefully about what would be where and how much space it would take up. In the end, practically every drawer had a different layout.

I solved a lot of problems I had with this small organiser, but not all of them. I have tools that are practically double in length, so another organiser with almost double width was needed. For this organiser, I chose 176.8 millimetres in width.

The organiser has five different row sizes: two 20.5 millimetres, two 21 millimetres, two 30 millimetres (one is 30.2, but I ignore the difference in the drawer size), one 40 millimetres, and the bottom row standard 21 millimetres. I chose a stronger 1.6 millimetre thickness for the walls because I didn't trust myself to not put something heavy in them.

I printed it in 0.3 DRAFT from a white filament. Because I'd printed a lot of these before, nothing could go wrong :)

It took longer than one day to print the drawers. I didn't put any walls in them this time, like in the smaller ones. It seemed counterproductive to me.

And I was done. This arrangement makes my eyes very happy. I used the cut for the fillet on the table to stretch the electricity cables through it. I got lucky; it wasn't the original plan, but it works like magic :)

That's not the end of it. In the next post, I will show you how I dealt with the other half of the creative wall.
