Generic inserts waste the drawer
Off-the-shelf organizers come in a handful of sizes with rectangular compartments. Things slide around inside them, and the gap left at the edge of the drawer becomes the new junk pile, and the compartments rarely match what you actually store. A 3D-printed drawer organizer can use every millimetre, because you decide the size of every tray.
Measure the drawer, then the things
Measure the inside width, depth and usable height of the drawer, leaving room for the drawer above. Sketch a rough layout on paper: big, everyday items at the front, rarely used ones at the back. Then set each tray’s outer dimensions in Tucked so its slot is filled. Take a millimetre or two off each side so the trays drop in and lift out easily.
A pocket for every thing
Photograph each item on a sheet of A4 or Letter paper, and Tucked cuts a pocket that follows its outline. Things stop sliding, the drawer closes quietly, and an empty pocket shows straight away what wasn’t put back. Add a finger notch for flat items like rulers and cutters. For rows of identical items — batteries, pencils, spice jars — make a tray by dimensions instead: set pocket shape, size, rows and columns, no photo needed.
Print-friendly by default
Trays are flat-bottomed, so they print without supports. Keep each tray within your build plate and print a test tray before committing the whole drawer. PLA is fine for desk and kitchen drawers; PETG copes better with heat, like a garage in summer.
