IKEA Alex drawer insert tray for pens and tools
A modular tray that sits in the shallow top drawer of an IKEA Alex unit and gives pens, markers, USB sticks and small tools their own compartments. The Alex drawer interior is roughly 300 mm wide by 450 mm deep and 55 mm tall, so the tray is 296 by 220 mm and 40 mm high, leaving space for a second tray or loose items behind it. Compartments are 1.2 mm dividers on a 2 mm floor with scooped fronts to lift pens out easily. Print it flat; a 0.6 mm nozzle finishes it in about two hours. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer?

Fit notes
Because drawer interiors vary between the Alex on castors, the six-drawer tower and older versions, a tray generated from your own measurements sits flush rather than sliding. In SpeakCAD you describe the drawer and what goes in it, preview the tray in the browser, resize compartments in the chat and download the STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
