Needed a tool drawer thingy but nothing I saw online was the right size. Ended up buying some serving trays from IKEA and printing this rack for them. Ended up going with PLA, seems strong enough. 4 perimeters with a 0.6mm nozzle.

Impressively large print, but I would've probably just built this in plywood or MDF.

Hah I'm not even sure, even cheap materials like plywood have gotten expensive

Cheap materials like pieces of the IKEA furniture my neighbors are throwing away?

That more like an item than a material I would say...
