Stop Your Alex Drawers from Sliding!
Tired of your gridfinity sliding to the back of your IKEA Alex drawers every time you open them? This fully customizable backstop is the perfect solution! It acts as a filler for that annoying empty space, keeping everything perfectly in place. But it's more than just a spacer because it's a complete organizational tool you can tailor to your exact needs.
🛠️ What can you customize?
- Perfect Fit: Make it a backstop, a front stop, or even a side divider by adjusting the width, depth, and height.
- Personalized Labels: Add text to label the contents of your drawer right on the spacer.
- Text Control: Change the font, size, thickness, and exact position of your text.
- Versatile Use: While designed for Alex drawers with gridfinity, you can adjust the dimensions to fit any drawer or shelf!
Your printer is probably too small to print it fully in one time but you can split it in the slicer!
🖨️ Print Settings
This is a very simple and fast print. Lay it flat on the build plate, and you won't need any supports. Standard settings for PLA or PETG works great but other filament will do the job too (maybe not TPU).
💡 Why did I make this model?
The idea was born out of my frustration, and print more gridfinity baseplate wasn't an option. My bins would slide to the back of my Alex drawers and get jumbled up. I needed a simple back piece to block that gap. I decided to make it fully parametric so it could be adapted for any drawer or purpose, turning a this simple fix into a versatile organization system solution for everyone.
