I created a simple square 75 x 75 x 17,5mm with a 64mm hole in the middle (the diameter of my Cardboard Tubes). I used it also to mark the holes for the Drill Station. The 1st Jig is a simple piece to hold the Cardboard Tube in place. Because I want to get more familiar with 3D Printing, I decided to create the Jigs in Fusion360 and print them out. To save some time and brainpower I decided to create some Jigs that help me out. There are a lot of similar activities in this project. (You can find the Jigs as an stl in the attachment!) Let's go! In this Instructables I want to show you - How to built a cabinet out of Cardboard Tubes. Perfect size? Yes, If you cut a DIN A0 paper roll in half, you will have ~455mm. Luckily I found some very cheap tubes with the perfect size of 455mm. I needed at around 17m of tubes during this project. As I said before, I had access to some tubes, but sadly these are not enough. To cut a long story short, I want to combine the three stories and create a cabinet with drawers out of Cardboard Tubes. I recently created two projects ( Card Feeder and Card Sorter). So it would be cool to create a storage system for the most needed bricks.Īs you maybe know, I'm a huge cardboard fan. Maybe you find the right brick, maybe not. If you want to build something new, you have to search for it. At the moment the Lego is "stored" in a huge box. And on every birthday and Christmas is getting more and more. My kids have a huge collection of Lego bricks. I saved them in my office and brought them home. I see these tubes every single day and I often think "These tubes are so cool and just too good to be thrown away". Some of them are used as Mailing Tubes and the rest is stored next to my office before they are thrown away. From time to time these paper rolls are empty. We have to print a lot in different DIN formats.
