Storage cabinet for resistors.
« on: August 23, 2024, 03:59:09 pm »


Because of this other thread I had a look at storage boxes for THT resistors, and this 3D printed one looks quite good.
I like the simplicity of the small flat tabs for the handles. This leaves much room for the labels, which can now cover nearly the whole front.

For an improvement...
I find I sometimes run out of room for power / shunt resistors. If this is extended with one or even two decades below 1 Ohm, then maybe make those drawers a bit bigger. Either a bit higher, or twice as wide and then make two rows of 6.

Making it a bit deeper is also an option. I don't know how deep it is exactly, but when the resistor bodies can be staggered in 3 or so levels, then more resistors fit in a smaller overall area.
