My desk is very messy. I thought it was just "average" clutter but a colleague made a comment the other day that changed my feelings on it.

I have a sit/stand desk, so I need drawers that can attach to the underside..

I've decided to design some and make them with my 3D printer. I have to split it into 4 parts as it is too big to print it all in one go.

I've printed three of the parts, and just restarted the 4th print as it failed aboit an hour into the seven hour print job.

Here are the first two.. I like the sparkly black and orange aesthetic more, but the Prusa filament is 2x the price of the Overture grey I usually use.

I was very surprised that my idea for a handle worked at all (let alone first go), so the file was saved with the name: "ICantBelieveThisActuallyWorked-Handle.stl"

I hope your drawers work well for you ☺️ I always find my workspaces also get really chaotic pretty easily, but I find it a little bit theraputic sometimes to stop and set everything back in its place and make spots for things before returning to what I'm doing :)

I've discovered the "Gridfinity" system of organisation with 3D printed customisable modular bins, so I'm looking forward to using that to tidy up...

Aw hell yeah! If you're not familiar with the creator's youtube channel, Zach Friedman on YouTube is fucking amazing

(I feel like there's a good chance you already know him, but I'd be sad if I missed an opportunity to express how delightful he is and recommend his channel)

I'm a sit/stander too. Would be nice to see how the under desk drawers work out.

Why does the word drawers seem so weird It's like I've never seen it spelled and used this way.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
