Carousel Drawer

I honestly thought that making a working carousel drawer would be difficult if not impossible at this scale but I proved myself wrong. A simple 1mm pin printed in the drawer allows the carousel the spin freely. The hardest issue was dividing the carousel into even pockets. I am very happy with how this particular drawer has turned out.

Front Panel

After a few tests, I figured out that the best way to glue the front panel on a drawer was to use several elastic bands otherwise the panel tended to bend inwards.

Matrix Drawer

Finally got my first functional drawer working after six prototypes, a full-height matrix-style drawer as seen in red/white. After a lot of testing, I had to print the drawer in three parts (exterior chassis, the drawer itself and the drawer faceplate). I added rails to each side to keep everything aligned properly as it slides out.

It takes 20 minutes to print a faceplate, 75 minutes to print the exterior of the drawer and another 45 minutes to print the drawer itself.

Walls

It's now starting to look like a cable car with the walls for the interior section now installed. I experienced a small issue as I added custom white bars to the inside of the windows but did not take into account the exterior wall thickness. It took a bit of trimming but I managed to squeeze it all together.
