Modular Tambour Chest | Sliding Door Organizers
A clean and functional set of tambour storage chests, each featuring a smooth sliding door mechanism.
This design includes multiple sizes that share the same style and functionality, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs. Each chest works independently and is not physically connected to the others.
Perfect for organizing desks, tools, accessories, or everyday carry items — all while maintaining a modern, minimal aesthetic.
✨ Features:
Smooth tambour sliding door mechanism
Multiple size options (each unit is standalone)
Compact and efficient storage
Clean, modern design
Satisfying open/close interaction
Modular - Decorations are plug & play, and can be joined with other chests of the same dimensions.
📦 Important:
You can only connect chests of the same base dimension (60/90/120) regardless of length. However, note that chests of different scales are NOT compatible with one another, as their locking mechanisms vary to make them stronger together.
🛠️ Printing Tips:
Use PLA+ or PETG for durability
Ensure strong layer adhesion for the tambour slats
Keep tolerances clean for smooth sliding
Print slowly for best flexibility
⚙️ Assembly:
The tambour door feeds into the side rails and wraps smoothly around the structure. Assembly is simple and beginner-friendly.
This project focuses on combining mechanical satisfaction with practical storage — a great addition to any desk setup.
If you enjoy functional prints with clever mechanisms, this one’s for you 🙌
