Description

I've been experimenting with designing and printing thin, foldable sheets and thought of creating a small drawer organizer with the idea. Demo and assembly at https://youtu.be/KBI11ScuB-M The folded drawers end up with these "wing" like features that brush up against the cabinet, creating a slightly extra resistance when pulling the drawers out. While it's not much, it's enough so that the drawers will resist slipping out on their own. There are also notches in the cabinet that interfere with the edges of the middle layer of the wall folds: * When pushing the drawer all the way in, the last bit of push will often give a satisfying snap action and click sound. * When pulling the drawer slowly outward, interference will try to stop the drawer right before it's fully removed. There's also something interesting going on with the handle, involving folding, where the handle can be cantilevered a long distance because its print direction is upward; thus, it doesn't have the same overhang
