I do this but just use the boxes they come in lol
Yeah seriously; what's the point of this? It's just extra work to refill these things every time you get new bags.
Not OP, but you know 3D printer lovers love to print custom parts 🤣. Does your boxes fit perfectly in your drawer? Do you have a slicing tool for them? Have you ever tried to cut aluminium or plastic foil with the edge of the box? Dont bother replaying lol, I think OPs drawer is cool 😉
Yes to all of the above but i use a top cabinet instead of a drawer.
Psh, I didn't want to reply to you anyway.
When you have a 3D printer, you have a compulsion to come up with uses for it, even if they're useless. 3D printers are great, but there's this urge to find more ways to use it, rather than be driven by what you want/need.
I like to do this but it's much cheaper to buy bags in the giant packs. Those don't fit in my drawer because they aren't the normal size/shape. Or sometimes if I mix/match brands the boxes don't fit together in the drawer. Uncommon, but happens.
Not saying this is 100% needed, but it's not without use.
Yeah why create more plastic shit? We're literally drowning in it.
Yeah, I could see this being useful if those boxes don't ask fit in your preferred drawer or something, but otherwise just use the box they came in
