3D model description
Introducing A.T.O.M.
A custom-built tool organizer, designed to be installed between the linear modules on the Snapmaker 2.0 A250 or A350 model. Although this system could also be implemented on other printers given the necessary spatial requirements are met.
Printed using Fulament Matte black and orange PLA.

Problem Statement⚠️
I frequently found myself needing to access the same set of tools, hardware, and accessories while working with my Snapmaker A250. Which got me thinking, why not design an integrated drawer system with custom foam cutouts. Helping to alleviate my problem, and giving me quick access to these key components.
Design Context ⚙️
I started this design by down-selecting the critical tools, hardware, and accessories I wanted to store within the drawer. From there I began arranging them as efficiently as possible with the limited space I had. I quickly realized that I would need a two-tier system in order to fit all the components.
So I decided to design a quick detach insert that is held in place via magnets just above the lower foam organizer. Giving me space to hold a 14mm and 17mm wrench. As well as the two variations of M4x10 screws used during the transition from the 3D printing bed to the laser cutting bed. The ability to quickly remove the insert provides access to the lower tier of components and functions as a portable carrier for the screws.
Bill of Materials

3D printing settings
Slicer Settings
- Infill Density: 10%
- Fill Pattern: Gyroid
- Layer Height: 0.3mm
- Perimeters: 3
- Solid Top Layers: 6
- Solid Bottom Layers: 3
Additional Note: The colored screw inserts are designed to be a close fit but not a press fit, a small dab of super glue is advised.
Print Time: ~22 hours (All Components)
3D printed parts have basic geometries so print settings are entirely up to you, these were just the ones I used.
Laser Cutting Settings
Unfortunately, I can't upload the .nc laser files to Cults. But I've added the DXF files for the two main organizers. You'll need to create your own rectangles for the colored foam inserts, I just drew them using Luban. You can use the STL versions of the organizers to ensure your laser cut will fit correctly.
*Note: The "Detachable insert foam organizer.DXF" should maintain the 1:1 scale. Although double-check that the width or height matches that of the STL version of that component.
As for the "Main Drawer Foam Organizer.DXF" I noticed that the Luban kept shrinking it thus breaking the 1:1 scale, so make sure to adjust the height to 250mm (It will take up the whole laser bed workspace). *
