The large bins are a great place to scrape scrap material left over from your prints until later disposal. I designed these bins primarily for scrap management but can also be used for storing larger objects such as cleaning equipment, scrapers, rags, etc.
Features: • Gen2 rails allowing quick and easier swap-ability and combinations of many Gen2 Storage System designs. • Lack Drawers also include optional slots for magnets allowing drawers to snap into place with a nice "Click". • Drawer stoppers keep your drawers from attacking your feet. • Designed for larger and easier to install wood screws over the original lack enclosure drawer design. • Optimized wall thickness for reduced material usage and improved print time
HARDWARE • Screwdriver • Countersunk woodscrews: (Metric: 4x25mm to 4x16mm) or (SAE: #6 or #8 up to 1" long) • Drill bit that is smaller diameter than the wood screws • Pen, Marker, or Scratch Awl • Magnets (Optional): 10x5x2mm or 10x2mm • M3 nuts (Optional) • M3 Screws M3x6 - M3x10 (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
See video for basic assembly instructions
• With a marker or pen use the GEN2-QL rail to mark the hole locations on the surface you are mounting.
• Drill out marked locations using a drill bit smaller than the diameter of the wood screw you will be using.
• Prep the rail for installation by installing M3 nuts into the hexagonal holes. You can use a M3 screw to position and tighten the nut in place. • Install the rail using wood screws, use at least 4 screws on the outer corners to mount the single rail and and 6 to mount the double rail. (extra screw holes are available if you plan to stack more than 2 rows of drawers or contents of heavier than normal weight.)
• Prep the drawer case for installation:
• Install GEN2-QL (QuickLock Mechanisms) These will allow you to quickly lock and unlock drawers without the need to screw them in place with a rail lock.
-
Install optional magnets if desired NOTE: you only need to install at least one magnet, you can choose to install 2 stacked if you want more magnetism between the case and the drawer. Pay attention to polarity, they can be corrected later if needed.
-
Install optional nuts in drawer case (these are only used if you are installing a shorter drawer beneath this drawer case.
-
Install optional drawer stops by pressing them into place as they are friction fit. Pay attention to the orientation, notch facing down and towards the front to pass through the slot. The one labeled “L” goes on the left side of the case and “R” on the right side. (While facing the front of the case)
TROUBLSHOOTING
Corners lifting off bed
• This is often caused by poor bed or not having a warm enough enclosure, the cause is from high layers shrinking as they cool creating tension on the layers below, pulling the corners up. A great way to combat this on any print with sharp corners is to add “Mouse Ears”.
• Add these in PrusaSlicer by right clicking on the model in the list on the right of the screen, hover over “Add Part” and select “Add Cylinder”
• With the cylinder selected, in the “Part manipulation” menu in the bottom right, uncheck the lock next to size, set the “x” and “y” value to 10mm and “z” to 0.25mm. If the cylinder is floating above the print bed you will need to select “Drop to bed” in this menu as well.
Place and copy these cylinders in any corner of your print to mitigate lifting off the bed.
