SLIDE - The Ultimate FULL EXTENSION Economical Modular Drawer System

UPDATE 11/19/25:  I have been working more on the model.  I have been trying to keep this page and Printables updated but I may be slow here or there.  Drawers, Top and Bottom, etc are also over there.  Please check there as well.  Thanks!

SLIDE - Ultimate *FULL EXT* Modular Drawer System by Darrell Moye | Download free STL model | Printables.com

SLIDE

First, this is considered a remix.  The original model was not Full Extension and used 6mm Airsoft pellets  This slide uses 4.5mm ball bearings (BBs in the US).  However, I did make it full extension and also changed up the mechanism slightly.  I built upon that and made the SLIDE. The original had only one ball on the ends as support.  I changed this to a small channel holding 3BBs.  

Now with that said, Welcome to SLIDE.  

Install Tutorial:

Part 1: 

 Part 2:

1. Modular
2. Minimizing printing cost and time by using wood panels for major flat surfaces, or nothing at all.  It's completely independent. (3mm and some 6.35(¼") panel slots (some still in works)
3.  Scalable (Floor to ceiling, wall to wall)
4. Toolless (Screws Optional but not needed)
5. Sturdy and strong.  
6. Multiboard Integration

7. Gridfinity U kits

    

   I will update and remix a lot of stuff as I get time.

   Upcoming:

   1) Parametric

   2) Different length Slides up to 400mm

   3) “Lite” rail version

    

   I used Multiboard Clips and OpenGrid Clips, respectively.

   TIPS:  Let the print cool before removing to avoid any warping.  A slight warp will work itself out once the slide is assembled.  Use Rabbit foot brims or whatever those are called.  I printed in PLA+ .2mm 3 walls, 3 tops/bottoms, 25% infill.  

    

   nstall Instructions:

   Video Soon
   10 Balls on the long channels   **Changed from 12 to 10 to allow slide to clear trim when pulled out*
   3 balls on each of the small channels
    

   what you need: 
   -8x3 magnets (20).  Not permanent, just to use  in the TRD
   - 4.5mm ball bearings.  Or BBs.  Go head on over to Walmart and pick up a 6500 box of Daisys for about $6. Trust me.  You gonna lose half of em anyway. Might better get two boxes.  72 BBs per slide so accounting for loss, that's about 4 slides.  I did the math.  

    

    

   Update 11/11/25:  Added Feet.  Also added BOB Extenders up to 12u

    

   UPDATE 11/11/15:  Removing Drawer Front and Side pieces.  These will be in a remix for 3mm Wood Panels.  6.35mm In the works.

    

   More to come…
