I've got a lot of screws of various sizes and they're organised in a rotating drawer system. But how do you easily know what's in each one?
My original solution was to take one of what was in the box and tape it to the front. But this is hard to see and the tape doesn't bond well. I also tried labels, which works, but they're hard to read.
So instead... let's do something different. A little box that shows off the item in that drawer. As I've also got a laser cutter and heaps of 2mm clear acrylic scraps, I've 3D printed a display case, and then I laser cut the clear acrylic window that sits inside it. A little bit of double sided tape, and we're done!
In my case, I'm printing this with a resin printer. I'm placing the back directly on the build plate. There is a hole at the top to reduce the suction forces once it gets to the curve part.
