Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

This is a fully 3D printable clamped under desk drawer. What makes this drawer different? Well, Because it's clamped, you don't need to ruin the bottom of your desk with screw holes!

How have the bolts held up? It looks like you've default oriented them vertically. I've found that makes the stress along the layer lines and I've had to reprint horizontally (which means support but that's how it is)

Not my design, nor have I printed it,

But looking at it, those printed bolts should not be under a lot of stress. They appear to just hold the part from sliding off the table.

All the weight of the drawer and it's contents should be in the C-Clamp shape.
