An open-source drawer generator for openGrid, using the openConnect system. This model can generate drawer shells and matching containers with a variety of customizable features. The drawer can be mounted on a wall or under a desk.

It's recommended to install OpenSCAD and the BOSL2 library on your PC and run the .scad file offline. You can also use the online MakerWorld Customizer, but complex models may run into timeout errors.

Several example .stl files are included, with the parameters used to generate them in the file names.

Customization guide:

1. Set the drawer size. Use "vertical_grids", "horizontal_grids", and "depth_grids". These values use openGrid units (28 mm per grid).
2. Set "shell_slot_position". Choose "Back" for wall mounting, "Top" for under-desk mounting, or one of the other options for a less common mounting direction.
3. Choose the wall style. Use "Solid" for better dust protection, or "Honeycomb" for a lighter look that is easier to see through. Note that the honeycomb patterns on the shell and container side walls do not align, so use honeycomb on only one of those parts if you want a cleaner see-through look.
4. Optional: divide the drawer container. Enable the feature with "add_container_divider", set the grid size with "container_width_grid_count" and "container_depth_grid_count", and enter the compartment layout with "container_width_compartment_list" and "container_depth_compartment_list". See the images for some examples.
5. Optional: add pull-out stops. These features keep the drawer from sliding all the way out. There are two options, and they can be enabled at the same time.
   • Simple stoppers. Use "add_stopper_holes" to add the holes to the drawer shell, "generate_drawer_stopper_clips" to generate the stopper clips, and "stopper_clips_length" and "stopper_to_front_offset" to adjust the clip size and pull-out distance.
   • Side magnets. This is the experimental option, since magnet strength varies and the recommended 1 mm thick magnets can be difficult to find. Use "add_side_magnet_holes" to add side magnet holes to the drawer shell and container, "side_magnet_diameter" and "x_side_magnet_thickness" to adjust the magnet dimensions, and "side_magnet_x_edge_distance" to adjust the pull-out distance.
6. Optional: adjust miscellaneous options:
   • Detailed shell parameters: "shell_thickness", "shell_outer_chamfer".
   • Detailed container parameters: "container_solidwall_thickness", "container_honeycombwall_thickness", "container_front_back_height_offset", and "container_inner_fillet".
   • Back magnets: "add_back_magnet_holes", "x_back_magnet_thickness", "back_magnet_diameter".
   • Label holder: "label_width", "label_height", and "label_depth".
   • Drawer handle: "handle_thickness" and "handle_depth".
7. Optional: make a matching drawer label. Use the label generator.

Finally, it's possible to generate a drawer shell with multiple drawer bays. Enable "add_shell_divider", and customize it with "shell_height_compartment_list" and "shell_width_compartment_list". In this case, the matching container for each drawer bay would need to be generated separately.

The model is open-source under the CC-BY-SA license. Like all the OpenSCAD models I've designed for openGrid, it can be found in this GitHub repository. Feel free to use the code; feedback and suggestions are welcome.

2026-02-04 Update: Added shell divider orientation, container inner fillet, and slot position options. Adjusted the default parameter values.
