The file 'Ikea ALEX Organizer With Shelves For Storage Boxes 3D Printer Model' is (stl,txt) file type, size is 238.4KB.
First a word of caution, these shelf brackets are not engineered to hold any particular weight, though I have been using them since this this was posted in September 2018, and they have not fallen apart yet (see the pics). The brackets are not "engineered" or designed to bear any particular load. Additionally, there are may variables that could affect their strength, so what I am saying is, use them at your own risk, or don't use them at all.
For my organizer cabinet, I printed the brackets out using ABS, and used I think, 4 walls, with a high amount of infill (don't recall how much, may have been 40%). However, even with ABS, I cannot say how well they will hold up, or that they won't come crashing down one day and spill out my precious resistor and capacitor collection - that could take years to sort out. I like to live on the edge though...
I built the organizer cabinet (pictured) using two Ikea ALEX 5 drawer cabinets and some "KOMPLEMENT" shelves. The idea was to make it fit on top of a desk, and it just so happened to fit perfectly inside the existing hutch. If I get a larger space I may turn it into a free standing work bench by building a base for it and use it with a top such as the "GERTON" wood table top (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50106773/), which is unfinished, but looks great with some General Finishes gel stain.
The goals I had for this project were:
Parts used:
I used two of these:
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10192824/
and several of these KOMPLEMENT shelves (mine measure 28" x 22 1/2" but online they show them as 29 1/2" x 22 7/8"):

I used these handles, which have some space to put a paper label card in - the "Ikea_alex-handle-cutout-template3.stl" was used to align the holes for these:

I dont have the link for the drawer sliders but I got them at Lowes and they measure 22 1/2" when closed.
These are the storage bins I used (can hold 6 large or 12 small bins):
Stack-On DCY-10 Deep Cup Parts Storage Organizer
Stanley 25 Compartment box (Mfr #: 014725R)
Stanley 10Compartments box (Mfr #: 014710R)
The hardware that I needed was:
Tools I used:
The heights of the holes for the brackets used (not the shelves), are in the attached pic. The distances in that pic are measured from the bottom of the side panels prior to assembly so they do not include the 16mm or so for the base of the cabinets. Of course verify these work for yourself, before drilling ("measure twice, cut once", or something like that). I included them more as a starting point, but they are what I recall using on mine.
To assemble:
In a related project, I made some dividers for the organizers that go into this cabinet, they can be found below:
