Okay, I have one of those rare opportunities where a home project can be solved with 3d printing and score a high Spouse Satisfaction Score.
The kitchen desk drawer has forever been a doom box, literally where all sorts of things go to be forgotten about. Way too many pens, screw drivers, hex keys, erasers, random screws, stickers, many pairs of scissors, etc. The child used brute force to close the drawer and it became mechanically stuck. Basically the wooden dividers got stuff jammed under them and the dividers got driven up above the sides of the drawer. I just spent about 20 min fishing all manner of junk out with pens, ruler, and an old library card.
I’m going to rip out the remainder of these dividers and then print out an organization system. I immediately thought of gridfinity, but the drawer is rather shallow. An anyone tell me what a reasonable height for a grid and bins would be? I’m measuring about 41.45mm as the least depth I have in this drawer (to the sides, not to the opening) in spots it goes over 42mm, buts it’s a wodden cabinet about 20 years old, so it’s not surprising.
Is this too shallow a space? I like the idea of gridfinity because it would be important to keep the bins from shifting, but also I want to keep them from popping up. Do you guys thing this is a good implementation? What’s the shallowest you’ve printed bins (including the base grid). Thanks in advance.
I use my desk drawer since I don’t like things on top of my desk. It’s quite difficult to find pens and pencils that are just floating around. I have highlighters and colored pencils still in their original package. There are also miscellaneous bullet journal supplies just floating around. Is there anything on amazon worth checking out? Have you done any DIY method using things around the house? I use old cups to store makeup brushes inside a bathroom cabinet, but I don’t see cups working in this situation.
hello!!
does anyone have any shallow drawer dividers recommendations? (that are available in the UK)
my desk/vanity drawers are super shallow (my laura mercier translucent powder doesn't fit) and I'm struggling to find organisers that actually fit 😩
thanks!x
