Day goal(s)

  • Design a small box in FreeCAD
    Print the boxHahaha. Let’s talk about this box. So we’re looking at a need for parts boxes, trays, drawers, whatever. If the to of my noggin, I’m thinking individual drawers that are 1″x3″. This will allow a good generic size for most purposes. I should think about a… Oh, I know. Print a slot that fits whatever the hell size of screw I have in spades from disassembling computers. These screws I could then mount, with a bit of threaf exposed of course, in a drawer box. Or, do I want to look at a dovetail like shape? I could also add grooves for dividers for the smaller parts. Handles? A lip for a drawer stop?

  • Right. New design parameters.
    • Drawers 1″x3″x1″
    • Grooves for dividers
    • Incorporated drawer pull
    • Lip at the back for a stop
    • Dovetail looking thing as a guide

    Case should be inherently stackable. Flat plate with the other part of the dovetail. Mounting nubs for sides to mount. Front plates that tires it all together.

    But for today. A drawer.
