GEN2 165 Tabletop Starter Kit

GEN2 165 TABLETOP STARTER KIT

The easiest way to start the GEN2 QuickLock Modular System on any surface. 165 is the MINI depth (about 151 mm inside), sized for sockets, tools and hobby bits. 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.

PICK YOUR BUILD

2W-2H · 3 drawers · 39 printed parts · 11 assembly steps 176 × 140 × 194 mm Open the 3D build guide →

3W-2H · 5 drawers · 63 printed parts · 13 assembly steps 264 × 140 × 194 mm Open the 3D build guide →

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 · sockets, calipers and hobby bits across 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 - Every cover and rail is 165 mm long · both widths fit an A1 mini, though the 2W parts at 176 × 165 are snug on a 180 mm plate — print those without a brim MULTICOLOUR FACEPLATES

Both Classic faceplates ship with ready-to-slice multi-material 3MF projects alongside the plain STLs, set up for AMS with the trim on separate filaments. 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.
