Show HN: Design 3D printable containers that fit any drawer perfectly

Tue, 09/22/2026 - 11:05am

I built Container CAD to design containers that fit exactly into any drawer easier.

For me, it solved:

1. Wasting hours on CAD design calculating container dimensions from drawer dimensions, incorporating wall widths, floor heights, inter-container gaps, and rounded corners.

2. Wasted filament on containers when you inevitably make a small miscalculation

3. Wasted time making adjustment like the wall needs to be a little thicker or thinner, or the inter-container gaps is too big.

It started after spending too many hours in OnShape (CAD software) and wasting dozens of hours trying to make containers that fit my daughter's IKEA Kallax drawer (shout out to Kallax fans!).

How it works: You enter the drawer dimensions, drag out a grid of containers you want, and it gives you STL files that you send to your 3D printer or slicer software.

Originally, I built it for myself, but then made it good enough (hopefully) for others to use.

It's completely free. Please enjoy!

Please let me know how you'd make it better!
