+## Shelf Space (February 2023)
+<a class="anchor" name="shelf_space"></a>
+
+I still had some drawer rails and a wooden plate left over from replacing my [Fabrikator Mini](fabrikator-mini.html) with my new [Laser Engraver](laser-engraver.html) in my [Ikea Lack tower](ikea-lack.html).
+So I decided to re-use these to properly store the Sparkmaker.

+
+The [drawer rails](https://amzn.to/41pvjYV) are 300mm long, 45mm high and have a spring mechanism for soft closing.
+
+To fit the drawer parts I had to print six additional spacers.
+The design for these can be whipped out very quickly using OpenSCAD:
+
+<pre class="sh_javascript">
+od = 12;
+id = 5;
+h = 5;
+$fn = 42;
+
+difference() {
+    cylinder(d = od, h = h);
+
+    translate([0, 0, -1])
+    cylinder(d = id, h = h + 2);
+}
+</pre>

+
+For easier pulling I added the ["Solid Drawer Handle" by dodasch](https://www.printables.com/model/308296-solid-drawer-handle), scaled down to a height of 16mm.

+
+Like with my laser engraver the power supply is hidden on the top of the shelf unit.
+
+This setup provides enough space for storage of the printer, resin and the usual tools.
+
+I'm now using an air-tight container filled with isopropanol to clean the prints.
+The only thing still missing is a good solution for curing / hardening.
+I'm thinking of some kind of small turntable and UV lamp or LED strip.
+That's still to come, so stay tuned! 🧐
