**_Printing Guidelines_**

**Handle:**
- 0.16 mm layer height
- 4+ walls, 15%+ infill (use your discretion to make a strong part depending on the filament you use)
- No supports required

**Volume Dial and Cover:**
- 0.16mm layer height
- 2 walls, 15% infill
- No supports required
- For the Volume Dial, start with an opaque filament, and swap to a transparent filament above 2.4mm if you want the sides to light up (I also did a few layers of Black between the white and green to block more light from the front)*

          *For the Studio Dial, start with an opaque filament, and swap to a transparent filament above 8mm (at Z height 11mm if you want it to line up with the cover)

---

**_Assembly_**

**Handle:**
- Use the original screws for the stock VAPPEBY handle to connect this part
- Do not overtighten the 3D printed screw. That will cause the layers to be ripped apart.

**Cover:**
- Print four of the cover pins. Connect them to the back corners of the cover with a 1/4 twist clockwise (You can use pliers if the fit is tight).
- Cover should press fit into the existing rubber holes on the speaker.

**Studio Dial:**
- Optionally print the 'Studio Dial_Indicator' in another color and glue it into the divot on the Dial for an orbiting indicator (the orange dot shown in the photos).

These are the original Fusion 360 CAD files uses to create the GEN2 Adjustable Steel Sheet Holder.

GEN2 Steel Sheet Holder CAD Files

Sheet Holders.3mf

This is a 275mm organizer for the IKEA Kallax drawers that can be printed on a 200mm bed.  

It snaps together without fasteners or adhesives and can be configured to slide on the drawer sides or sit down inside the drawer.  

100% printed - no hardware, fasteners, or adhesives required.  No print support is required.

**Print Settings**

For the best results, I suggest the following:
Material = I recommend PETG but any material should work.  
Nozzle = 0.4mm
Layer height = 0.2mm
Line width = 0.4mm
Wall count = 4 (1.6mm)
Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5
Detect Thin Walls = ON
Wall Generator = Arachne
Infill = 40% (Cubic)
Print orientation = As per the STL/3MF files.

**Revisions and Updates**
I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model.

20250331:  I have added a magnetic connector which can be used to "soft" join the trays in the drawer.  This is especially useful for pulling the trays forward when it is difficult to reach into the drawer.  

20240825: 
1. I have added a snap-in floor for the organizer.  This 1mm thick floor covers over the hex grid so that you can use the organizer for smaller objects.  
2. I have also added the STL for a full-size box, which you can print as a single piece if you have a larger printer.
