GEN2 185 TABLETOP STARTER KIT
The easiest way to start the GEN2 QuickLock Modular System on any surface. 185 is the STANDARD depth (about 171 mm inside), sized for everyday storage. GEN2 was originally built to mount under a desk · this kit lets you stand a full modular unit right on top of any table, bench or shelf.
Two layouts share the same parts — only the quantities change. Print the 3-drawer build to get started, or go straight to the 5-drawer.

2W-2H · 3 drawers · 39 printed parts · 11 assembly steps

The 3W-2H build staggers its covers and foot rails brick-style. Slightly more advanced, and it shows you exactly how runs extend sideways without limit · five drawers of everyday storage in three columns.
Each guide opens in your browser · rotate the build, step through assembly, change filament colours to match what you have loaded, and export the parts list as CSV. No sign-up.
NOTHING TO BUY
No screws. No heat-set inserts. No bought hardware at all. The Classic faceplates print their grip straight in and every joint push-fits.
The one optional purchase is magnets · 6 × 10×2 mm for the 3-drawer build, 10 × for the 5-drawer. They give the drawers a soft closure. Skip them and the kit still works — the drawers simply push-fit instead.
WHAT YOU PRINT
Quantities are prints, not parts. QuickLocks and Drawer Stoppers each come as a left/right pair on one plate, so one print gives you both pieces.

PRINT SETTINGS
No supports anywhere
0.4 mm nozzle · 0.2 mm layer height · 2–3 perimeters
PETG or PCTG recommended for cases, covers and rails · PLA works but is less durable
QuickLocks must be PETG — they flex to lock, and PLA snaps
TPU (95A) for the feet
MULTICOLOUR FACEPLATES
Both Classic faceplates ship with ready-to-slice multi-material 3MF projects alongside the plain STLs, set up for MMU3 with the trim on separate extruders. The single-colour STL is there if you would rather keep it simple.
MAKE IT YOURS
Drawer Stoppers and Magnet Inserts are both optional. Toggle them off under Build options in the 3D guide and it re-counts the parts list for you — handy if you want the drawers to pull all the way out, or you do not have magnets on hand.
EXPAND YOUR KIT
This is one unit. The system keeps going sideways and upward from here.
