Studio help from inhouse 3D printer pro

I've maxed out on stress the last couple of weeks so I'm spending lots of time reading and finishing up the reorg of my studio space.  The last little bit is labeling all the rearranged elfa drawers that contain my fabrics and art supplies.  Now, elfa makes an acceptable label holder that fastens onto the drawer fronts but I really wanted a larger one without the not quite transparent plastic over the label.  So I turned to James, the inhouse 3D printer meister to see if this was feasible.  Why, yes, of course, he says.  And voila, a larger label holder appears. 





Elfa label holder on the right, prototype on the left.  And below the production run for 42 label holders on the printer.  This is exciting, I get to finally be able to read the labels on my drawers without bending over and squinting. 


Once I've put them on and used them for a bit, I'll probably add them to my etsy store for those other elfa users who want bigger labels.
