Ultimate Drawer System

Intended to be the ultimate drawer system that is

• printable with FDM printing
• optimizable for anything you store in drawers
• compatible with Thingiverse's Customizer
• backwards-compatible with MarcElbichon's Ultimate Drawer System
• written for ease of improvement (which could use some improvement)

This Thing is the shelf customizer. For the drawer customizer, see Customizable Ultimate Drawer System Drawer. For drawer inserts/dividers see Customizable Ultimate Drawer System Inserts. For the foot, see Ultimate Storage Drawer System Feet

The System

• Drawers and complementary shelving units are sized in units called "Us".
• If only one dimension is given, it is assumed to be the height and the width and depth are assumed to be 1U.
• A 1U drawer is 120 mm wide by 120 mm deep by 19 mm high.
• A 2U drawer is 120 mm wide by 120 mm deep by 39 mm high.
• Actual drawer width is 131 * Us wide - 10 mm
• Actual drawer depth is 130 * Us deep - 10 mm
• Actual drawer height is 20 * Us high - 1 mm
• A 2U shelf (or cabinet) is 131 mm wide by 130 deep by 50 mm high. (You can't (currently) make a 1U shelf.)
