Convert your Uplift Desk cubby into a more useful drawer
I bought an Uplift Desk, but I found the cubby above my computer tower bracket to be pretty much useless. The opening wasn't tall enough to be able to reach anything that isn't right at the front. I wanted to make it more useful, so I figured a drawer was the right thing for the job.
What you need:
- Two M3x8 screws
- Glue (optional)
Printing: You'll want to print the handle and drawer face in higher quality, since they're most visible. Otherwise, feel free to print at whatever layer height you like.
- Supports: Only the handle. Everything else can be printed on its largest flat edge
- Walls: 3 is fine, but whatever floats your boat
Assembly:
- Print one of every model, except the standoffs
- Print four standoffs
- Glue the standoffs to the underside of the rails. Use the pegs for alignment. The long side of each standoff should be pointing outward to help support the drawer above
- Align the handle, the drawer face, and the drawer body. Secure with two M3x8 screws
- Align the rails and standoffs on your screws. The rails mark the front and rear, left and right in the center to help with orientation
- Slide the drawer in and enjoy
