Steps

Step 1: Cuting the panels- CNC machine

In this step, you may send the provided files for cutting on a CNC or laser cutting machine. Note that these files are designed for a material thickness of 25 mm (1 inch). If you alter this measurement, ensure the file is adjusted accordingly. We only cut the outline on the machine, but you may also use it for bevels and number engravings.


Step 2: Plastic type- LaserCut

After cutting all the panels, use the files with numbers to laser cut them. Ensure proper alignment as each divider panel is numbered on both sides. Align from the top highest corner for best results.

Step 3: Cuting and Finishing

In this step, cut the front, bottom, and back panels. Additionally, begin finishing all parts and sanding them for a smooth surface.



Step 4: Mounting all the pieces

After sanding all parts, assemble them using screws. Begin by attaching the sides and the bottom, then fit the dividers according to your requirements.



Step 5: ALL DONE!!

You can now organize your plastic with greater ease.
