I made this about a year ago and it’s one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I’ll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.

    Damn, that’s awesome!

    If you don’t mind me asking, how long did it take you in total? Curious how big of a project this is

    Looks pretty solid too, is the filament stuff expensive?

    Seriously making me want to get into this haha

      Thanks! I had to split this in 6 prints and connect them after. Each one took around 12 hours to print and used around 1.5kg of filament, IIRC. But this was one of my early projects and I would change a lot knowing what I do now to use less filament and less printing time. Filament is not too expensive. Around $15-20 a 1kg roll. You can spend a lot more or a lot less depending on brand/quality and sales though. Still a lot cheaper than buying a nice organizer bin and this one is customized to fit my silverware and drawer. It’s my favorite hobby ever!

        Next time, print forms and create a mold. You’ll spend a whole hell of a lot less money and you can make it food safe by applying wood putty and sanding the forms.

        I might do that myself now…
