About this print
A sliding storage drawer designed to fit in the front-right space beneath the build plate of the Creality Ender 3 Pro. It mounts onto the printer's 40x40mm Y-axis rail, making use of otherwise wasted space for keeping tools or spare parts close to hand. PLA prints well here as the drawer sits away from heat sources on the printer, and the material provides sufficient stiffness for smooth sliding action.

This is a sliding box for the right-front space under the table on the Creality Ender 3 Pro. The Pro version uses a 40mmx40mm Y-axis rail. This will not fit (without modification) on the original Ender 3 with 20mmx40mm Y-axis rail.
The stl files are for the drawer with a slide that rides on the Y-axis rail and another for the drawer using 3mm T-nuts instead of the slide. In my installation, I chose to use the T-nuts as I like the idea of being able to clamp it down. It slides just fine with T-nuts loose.
I've included Fusion 360 models as well as step and sat models so others can make use of them in the CAD system of their choice.
Edit: I also tossed in a Fusion 360 and .stl file of a rear box that works on the Ender 3 Pro. It is just a Remix of my Pi Box 4 Ender 3 without all the Pi windows and divider.
Edit 2: One user printed the non T-nut version and found it to fit so tight that the part was bent installing it. This is designed to be a snug fit. I recommend you measure your printer and modify one of the three CAD models to suit your printer. Or just print it and sand, file or scrape until it slides smoothly.
Some say, "A Maker gotta make". I say, "A Maker gotta make do". Now go make stuff.
Edit 3: I trimmed off 0.5 mm from the width of the box and called it Rev B. So it should slide easy now.
