<p class="MsoNormal">I've been 3D printing and using these small parts storage system boxes for a few years now. They suit my needs, and I can quickly print another when needed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But, stacking them up was getting to be a problem, so I designed a storage shelf unit to hold them. See

<p class="MsoNormal">While I could have cut this out using traditional methods or even power tool methods, I chose to use it as a learning tool for my CNC router. All of the slots and half circles were cut on the CNC. The rest was done on the table saw. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The slots on this would have been easy to do on the table saw, but not super easy since the laminate flooring was 8.6mm thick. The half circles would have taken a lot longer. I cut those half circles on the CNC in about 15 minutes. It took
me about 10 minutes to add the circles to the shelves and then create the CNC path. Say 30 minutes total. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since this was a learning tool, I went with cheap "wood". I remodeled a rental last year, and ripped out a lot of cabinets. The outer shell for this cabinet is made from that particle board stuff. The shelves are from the laminate flooring
that was in the house. Simple glue and finish nails. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I know, not fancy, but still shop time. Now to build the second one for my imperial small screws, nuts, and washers.<o:p></o:p></p>
