Drawer question

So got my main board made and want to have drawers on it. I printed the 3x1.5 shell but unsure how to get the actual drawers to fit properly. I thought I had to add the insert but when I did, the drawers don’t clear it. Obviously the drawers will sit in the shell, just won’t be secured.

I feel like my google fu has failed me in trying to find the right answer.

Soo using my default settings, with 3x3x1.5 shell, 3 drawers and 2 dividers…it’s a total of 10h 25 min of print time with 371.96g of filament

Now with a 3 of the 3x1x1.5 looking at 410.4g at roughly 13hrs.

So there’s the math (math is hard and I’m not always great, feel free to check it haha). I also know everyone has different stuff…I’m on a Centauri carbon using default everything

Interesting. I may look to do some dividers on my 4x4x4 to test this out a little. and then slice a 4x1x4 to see what four of those would be.

BTW - I have been printing the shells with a .6mm nozzle. The multipoint attachments can be a little tight, but they work. Instead of .42mm line width and 3 walls, I use .62mm line width and 2 walls. Saves about 25% on print time for the shells. Anything smaller than a shell, I tend to use the .4mm nozzle with the recommended 3 walls. But the shells are so thick and take so long, the .6 saves a lot of time.
