DYMO label tip: Don't press print every time you enter something. Make a long list with 3 or 4 spaces in between each thing you want. You will save loads of label.
great tip! thanks :)
On most label printers there is also a “chain” option which means that it doesn’t advance the tape enough to be cut off, just enough to print the next thing. Very useful on less powerful lablers that only allow entering a fixed amount of characters.
Correct, anders verlies je teveel tape.. De minimale tablengte om af te knippen is anders te lang (ik denk 12 mm langs beide kanten, per label x uw aantal labels...)
or just use a slide over plastic piece or creased lips on the label holder so you can use normal printer paper and just replace the labels when needed, like a grocery store label.
Well, now I feel dumb for having not been doing this. It's a good tip!
My favorite moment of this video is at 11:04 when you drop the cabinet to the floor and it perfectly matches the height of your worktable. Love your videos.
The concrete block thing is a solid flex.
fucking genius
Ah, I see what you did there. ;)
yeah, heavy flex
@@paragjyotideka1246lol
Looks far better than any store bought cabinet. Love the orange handles on the front. Very nice. Must have taken you an absolute age to do this.
If you made chart for understanding your philosophy for organizing Metric & Standard screw, nuts, bolts, and nails (gauges) I would buy it in a heartbeat.
As someone who has a Japanese car (metric), lives in the us (imperial), rode many bicycles (metric), and is originally from a country that uses the metric system.
It would cure a level of internal confusion that's probably taking up headspace which should be used for creating things.
Lots of boxes in boxes in boxes. I liked for the 3D printed ones - a great alternative to the ones on the market with adjustable dividers that always seem to pop out of place every time I dig for a fastener. Good project!
I would imagine a bit of hot glue would end that madness of the dividers coming loose.... need to try it myself.
This is the greatest use of 3D printers I've seen relevant to woodworking - thank you!
I like how you used 3d printing along side the woodworking! Those jigs were genius!
thanks :)
Right!?! I agree 100%
I have the number of all of hobbies all which create mess. I have been heading towards my solution using ply. I have recently ordered a 3D printer to solve the little boxes problem. You Alex are 100 steps ahead and have just made my life very easy. The Old adage "there is nothing new under the sun" proves true here. You have trumped me on this adventure and I thank you sir. Great admiration for your efforts and thank you once again. Great video. You now have a loyal subscriber.
Working on building one very large wide drawer for just below the surface of my workbench, with this system! I love this system, and designed my own fairly similar boxes. I wanted mine to look pretty cool, and desided to print all of the boxes in black, then paint the top rim to color code them. The black looks great with these little accents of color, highly recommend for anyone reading this who will acctualy build one of these!
Hi am trying to see if v2 boxes fits my rawer du you have the messurments in mm? and hights
@@rickykollberg the ones I have made are based of a 2 inch by 2 inch by 2 inch tall system. That’s 50.8mm
I just finished building this, kind of...It is amazing! I redesigned to have a full cabinet depth of drawer space with ball bearing type slides that fully extend.
Made these with his new square boxes with the base grids.
The drawers (18 of them) hold 6 boxes wide, 8 boxes deep, 48 per drawer, 864 total “slots” if I do all 1x1s. Chose not to go with the concrete in the bottom in order to get as much space as possible. Cabinet is done, still a ton of 3D printing left to do.
I only have one printer, so about 1700 hours of printing needed or about 70 days of total print time if I was 24/7 printing, which I’m not. I estimate around 26-30kg of filament needed (for my setup).
So be prepared if you want to attempt this, and yes, it’s worth it!
@charles I am hoping to do something similar to what you did. I even bought a 3d printer in hopes of making my own custom boxes using his plans. I originally bought 8 Milwaukee small parts storage holders but that would only give me about 100 individual spaces for parts. I like that this system is customizable for parts that will only take up a small space (I prefer having a place for Everything!). Any other details of your build? Video? Would really be interested to see it.
I recommend also when people do this have the little boxes have a rounded inner edge so you can more easily get the last screw/bolts out of the box.
To get the last screw just turn over a single box =) it takes more time to print these boxes with rounder inner edge cause of bigger wall thickness in the corners.
This IS ONE OF THE MOST USEFULL video on the UA-cam !!!
Thanks!
Alexandre, thanks for the great idea. I bought your drawings and modified the boxes by making them only 46mm high.
I build my chest of drawers from similar black coated plywood as you used. It has 8 drawers each holding 8x4 boxes for a total of 256.
I printed the boxes, grids and drawer handles on my Creality CR-6 SE, which took 12 days of continuous printing. Thanks!
The quality of this content is of the calibre I'd expect from a channel with millions of subscribers. This is definitely the start of something bigger. Great stuff!
Great cabinet, can't imagine the hours of printing for this project. One of the best cabinet builds I have seen on UA-cam so far. Now it's time to fill up the boxes :)
I’m not even sure how I found your channel but I stuck around to watch a few videos. Now I’m more of a metal working kinda guy but man, I have to say 1. You’re definitely very skilled and 2. I really enjoy how you explain your thought process while building something and your use of 3D printed brackets is genius!!
I haven’t felt this happy about a video of creativity and workshop. As an individual with crazy ocd, perfectionism and organization issues lol this was extremely satisfying to watch.
(he pours all the little containers on the table) My OCD is thrilled! I wanted to dive in there and organize them again!
BTW, love what you did with those little boxes. It gets my mind working on my craft room and how to organize it.
Only thing I would change is to move the casters a little to the inside, so they don't stick out under the cabinet. Love the combination of 3d printed parts and woodwork. Great job.
I should build something similar, because I hate buying sorting boxes and after a while they are not available anymore so you have to get a different kind that doesn't fit the with the old ones.
i know you have 100 of one type. one breaks and can't get another. So have to deal with it or buy a whole new set and then have that whole partial set left over.
Just discovered your channel and this is some great stuff. Printing all those boxes must have taken forever! The build quality and thought you put into this is impressive, especially like the weights in the back. Subbed!
Thanks Phil! Really appreciate the kind words :)
I'm going to echo all the other people, as I can't believe you don't have more subs. This wouldn't be out of place on bloody television, it's that professional. Maybe the fact that this video ended up in my recommended list is a good sign, and the UA-cam algorithm has finally exposed you to more people! Subbed with bell on!
I think exactly like you, and i did the same sub with bell on!
@@ivansimic1878 same just signed up as well ...more of these videos woodworking & 3d printing templates projects
Random- but love the default pic. :D
Traditional television sucks. This is definitely better than that garbage
Thank you for taking the time to publicize this for I will be doing this the old fashioned way by hand build the boxes and every thing but I will paint colonial red and gloss black and use wood strip for drawers budget issues with the boss (wifey)
Finally started printing these boxes Alex. After having the cabinet plans for ages I went back and grabbed your assorted set and a few of the stackable ones. It’s hard to find 19mm MDF here in Australia so I just changed a few of the measurements for 18mm boards and made sure the drawer size and inner cabinet dimensions were the same. Waiting on a quote for the parts to be cut as I don’t have a table saw. Thanks again for your creativity and enthusiasm. 👍🏼
This is actually one of the best DIY Videos I have seen. You are a really clever man. And I assume you did plan this extremly well.
Even more: This is the best use of 3D printing I have seen so far. Like the templates for the door handel router-ing or the door montage templates. Genius! I do love it.
I spend most of my time on UA-cam watching DIY and how to videos, and I have to say, you have grabbed my attention! This video was very entertaining, with a good combination of music to explanation, and talking. You are a great creator and I very much look forward to seeing more content from you!
Top Dymo tip, print multiple labels by insetting 2 spaces between each word. Even at the smallest tab setting, it wastes a ton of tape on single prints. You should get 15 labels per single print and save maybe 20 cm of tape.
Also, buy one of the printers with USB-port and print from a computer. The keyboards on those things are terrible and the interface arcane.
The keyboard on his dymo is actually pretty good...
I honestly have had this video bookmarked for years. Something about it is so satisfying to see things get organized.
And after years being the same way with screws...i'm following suit...and stealing from you. I'm labeling the shelf as " The Chappel "
I wonder if making silicone molds for the individual containers and casting some sort of plastic would be faster(and cheaper considering electricity) than 3d printing?
You've single handedly given me all the ammunition I need to convince my wife exactly why I NEED a 3D printer!! Really amazing job very impressed.
I have bought one on easter. arrived on Monday the week after, Filament came on Wendsday. printing since then. already did cookie Cutters, Micro SD card storage and like 8 Montana masks yet. only like 15 bucks of filament extruded till now
Everything he did you can do without a 3D printer, probably faster and cheaper.
@@eatmedrinkme9628 So, I put a lot of thought into this. I consulted friends who are much smarter than I am. While you can make boxes similar to these faster or cheaper in other ways, getting this many boxes in exact dimensions with this particular internal grabber/label location and still have it be sturdy is not easy to achieve. Especially considering that once you get your printer settings dialed in, you can press go and walk away while the boxes are printing. You can't do that while vacuum forming. Using a CNC creates a lot of waste and will require breaking the boxes into two parts. Everything else will be very energy-intensive.
3D Printers aren't the answer to all problems, but sometimes they are a helpful tool to have access to.
@@TanyaHakala schaller bins come pretty close. You can definitely get the label spot, although it's a separate part
@@Nidkidful I saw someone link to them in another post. They are indeed very close and, let me tell you, I wish I knew about them about 40 boxes ago. XD
Wow is all I can say. You are a legend.
Also love that you sandbagged ;) that little counterweight trick... awesome video and please keep them coming!
Thomas Boe-Wiegaard Ferrari f1 cart lol! Amazing project and great channell
I have OCD when it come to organizing and l too have dozens of fishing tackle boxes filled with everything from hardware to jewelry making supplies. I need two, maybe three of these cabinets. It’s like you read my mind. Now I guess I need a 3D printer. 😏 Thanks for the video! You did a great job.
Excellent mixture of technique such as brad nails for lower stress drawers and biscuits for the high stress cabinets. The end result was very polished.
This is actually the first 10+ minute video on youtube I've watched all the way for like 6 months. Awesome content and the concrete blocks is such a nice idea. I work in the metal fabrication industry and pick tools from very high priced tool cabinets on a daily basis.... that only allows you to open one drawer at at time, which can be really annoying.
Subbed =)
I just discovered your channel through my YT home page, man, you're a freaking nerdy maker, impressive work!
With that said, using a 3D printer to print a jig that would take a few minutes to make from ply or MDF, no wonder why you embraced an engineer career 😄😄
Love your style and your work though, I will have to dig into your videos: I'm curious to see more of your workshop, which looks like a dream shop!!
Right?! Why am I just now being recommended his videos?
Printing time ignored (because you don't do anything you just wait) there is absolutely no way you could make that jig faster out of wood than plastic. Modelling and set up time for printing is probably 5 to 10 minutes. It is also going to be cheaper. That much plastic is probably 25 to 50 cents. If you needed it right now yeah sure make it out of wood, but if you're planning ahead like he clearly did, design the part and start the print one afternoon while sitting in your underwear watching TV. You also could not make either of those jigs anywhere near as accurately as 3d printing them. The oval shaped router jig, who knows what random size that is. You had better hope you have the right forstner bit or you figure out some other clever way of making them. But since you're probably going to have to cut in the flat sides with a jig or scroll saw, they aren't going to be perfectly straight or square. The face jigs have a recessed corner in them, so unless you have a very expensive power mortising jig you're going to be hacking at them with a chisel which is slow and is only as accurate as the skill of the user. So like I said unless you need a jig right freaking now and can't afford to wait a few hours, there is literally no benefit to making them out of wood.
And if you believe that I am wrong, I am more than happy to have a competition with you to see which method is faster.
@@14768 I think a laser cut machine could do that task in 3mm MDF in less than 5 days, with basically the same precision and maybe a smaller cost, depending on the cost of MDF and electricity in the area
This is an amazing project. A lot of work, what matters is the end result. You can say: I made this
Tanx for super nice video. you are god of cabinet job and 3dprints and color and material combination what i saw in this video take more than one years for normal person to do with less than 50 persent of your clean results . Bravo.
Just bought a 3d printer and a label maker and I saved this video and I'm so happy I can now come back to it and copy
Beautifully designed! It makes me want to rush out and buy lots and lots of extra nuts, bolts, washers, etc., to justify making one myself!
I love how well planned out your projects are! You have a great ability to approach problems with creative solutions and I love your use of FDM 3D printing to not only make finished parts, but guides and tools for manufacturing. Really clean finished product!
That was an insane amount of work, but the results were fantastic. I would love to know the weight of the loaded and unloaded case.
Wow - this is an excellent storage unit for all kinds of hardware! Superlatives, for everything: concept, design, build, video, usefulness, 3D-printing patience!!! Super well done!
I love this Lego methodology to sorting. You start with repeatable basic building blocks that can be arranged or expanded in near limitless ways. Perfect mix of simplicity and complexity.
Hey Alexandre, what was the approximate cost on this build, 3d printing and all...?
I was searching for this answer to
not worth it
@@vilmot.4567 define worth? Value is percieved.
Rough estimates 6 reels of PLA = £100 2 sheets of MDF = £80 (it's pricey at the moment) 4 Castors = £15 Drawer runners = £40 Materials alone approx £235 / $315
@@arontoms3085 thanks Aron. I appreciate the info.
That is absolutely brilliant! Every little detail thought of. I love the concrete blocks in the back...
Amaaaazing
Thank yooooooou :)
Holy crap, I was not expecting such professional quality from a random UA-cam recommendation! Your videos are awesome!!!
Attach a mini round neodymium magnet on the side near the top. One small shake can attach one or two items for an easy slide off part.
This pleased my organizing OCD a great deal. I use so many of those bin systems you have. Lol. Very nice sir.
My 3D printer: "Dun you think about it !!".
What a great video, love the mix of woodworking skills and modern technology of 3D printing combined.
Bloomin marvelous me thinks. 👍👍👍
I'm not going to build it but you give us all what we need for free to build it, that's a big like
nice job buddy!
we have an old army file cabinet with 3 rows of 4x6x18 metal draws with 10 levels that we keep our bolts and nut in also some of our misc fasteners like c and e clips, hose clamps , ect. The frame spacers between the rows and levels was soldered and came undone about a year ago so i drilled through and put 1/4 in all-thread through to hold the levels in place. S drawer full of 1/2 in bolts of varying lengths is kind of heavy!!! wish i had a 3d printer for all my little builds
After this was all done, I was like.. I want 4 of them. So much printing.
get 4 3d printers 😜
You can buy the boxes at this web site ( www.schallercorporation.com/quick-order/ )
I think they are less expensive than the filament to print them.
This is amazing! Now I just need a 3D printer 😂 just fund your channel and I really enjoy the content! The visuals, the quality of the projects and the way you present it.
Awesome build! Gonna save this!
i know you have dust collection, but would seriously suggest wearing a mask when using mdf. that stuff is nasty if it gets in your lungs !
@@peirisimon I kinda like MDF dust in my lungs...
Great project. I like single solutions too.
I added an computer database (inventory) of everything with MS OneNote. I made a notebook for hardware, electronics, tools etc.
So my physical storage bins are labeled 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. and because they are stackable they are in physical order in my workspace. Over time I memorizes the items and location #### I use most often. But when I need that odd item I just perform a search in OneNote and I get the location/bin #.
In this way things just need a home. They do not need an exact location with other similar items. Which get more and more difficult over time. If you get my meaning.
Evernotes is another computer app that makes a great database/inventory system for Makers that are into everything.
AWESOME video and AWESOME project...... I love the shot where the sunlight is sweeping over the desk. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t believe you only have 18000 subs. This is a million subs channel! 👍😀
he must have lost 5k subs recently or your dyslexic because it says 13k for me
@@darkshadowsx5949 That should be "You're dyslexic" HTH.
either way his sub count has almost doubled since then
There are now, 69.6k subs.. so clearly UA-cam is doing something right.
Legos! I need this for thousands of Lego elements!
That's why I clicked on this too.
The first thing I thought when I watched you pour all those boxes was, "that must have taken a looooong time". Fast forward to @22:17 or so, and my thinking was confirmed XD.
There's a threshold where it would probably take less time to learn how to build your own injection molding machine.
That was also my first thought and I immediately followed that up with, "Nope, not printing boxes to organize my garage"
@@woo545 I came here to find this comment. Also the cost, its about a whole roll of filament per drawer aswell.
Dude, I am such a kindred spirit in my love for hardware. I have similar problems with trying to organize hardware that I have purchased for projects or just because. Plus, my dad loved it too so I have lots of old hardware that was accumulated over the last 75 or so years. I'm actually really excited about the possibility of being able of doing it. Your project may help me out tremendously. I'll let you know.
you got in bauhaus this boxes, 60mm tall, for the common trays of the shop charts, you can only print the label support and do it quickly and im pretty sure it will be cheaper too.
Wow! And he 3D printed all the parts boxes, amazing!
Jeah! It took forever 😅
Did I miss the part where you mentioned what filament you used to print these containers?
Good work! Very good example that 3d printing is so usefull at workshop ;)
And this not just in the workshop but also for sewing kit organisation with all threads needles and all. I would like to do that in the kitchen for the assorted cutlery -knives and forks, easy for the kids to learn as well. Great product- easy to make and versatile too. Thank you.
Just printed a lot of these boxes for the top drawer in my Husky Toolboxes and they work great
Pretty clever with the guide template for the drawers - especially when you're making a heap of the same size drawer. Then they should all be pretty consistent and square.
Not too sure about the cost/time effectiveness of printing your own parts bins but whatever works. I was going to use 40mm pvc pipe, but I'm leaning towards cutting down a length of pvc down pipe and gluing bottoms in it. Thanks for sharing.
So, I am curious about the cost to build this. Trying to get my shop organized.
I'm curious too. I don't know anything about 3D printing but would get into it if cost was reasonable imo. When 3D first started I know the cost was very high, but very good for prototyping. Wondering if cost has come down to make production reasonable.
@@waterbug1135 This posting may have been orphaned, I asked 4 months ago. Maybe he just missed it.
Amazing! I would create something like that for myself because I have OCD too 😬😀👍👏
Instead of 3D printing, I would source those boxes and get angle moulding or something to create tab insert 🙂
And here we come from Zack Freedman
I really enjoy watching how different people build drawers, everyone seems to go about it in their own way. I think that you can tell a lot about a person and their personality ie how they approach life and problem solving by the method they use to make drawers.
Easy enough to print lots of items once you get your printer setup right and get into a rhythm. My wife always laughs at me when I have a big job. I just set the printers up to finish at times that work with my schedule. Generally I try to get them to be around 10-11 hour batches that way I can start one before bed and the second one in the morning. Rinse and repeat for a week or two.
This is amazing, wish I had the tools to build one, definitely need it LOL! Good job!
0:35 I also like to organize some things.
looks at the table behind him.
While I love the idea of printing these boxes, the time spent and filament cost would likely far outweigh the actual cost of cheap boxes. But hey, as a guy with 4 3d printers, I love to see it :)
The benefit comes from making the boxes exactly the right size. Also, while it certainly does take some extra time (mostly monitoring the prints, as design would be super quick for these), I actually don't think pre-made boxes would cost less than the filament.
As a person who loves organizing stuff, This video was so good to watch. Will try and sort my dad's tools and bits if I ever get time.😅
That´s AWESOME!!!! I cant imagine the time you invest on this.
Nice. But what you really need is another printer for your labels:
Have a look at the brother QL 600, 700 or 800 Series Printers.
They come with USB, Network and/or Wireless.
You can get "ready-made" Labels at different sizes or endless Tape that will be cut by the printer.
The Labels are very cheap. So just by differend "wide" ones.
you can get just paper labels or some made out of plastic.
They are perfect for labeling everything
on the downside: It thermal printing. So writing on the labels will fade a little bit by time.
There is a Software and Drivers that come with the Printer.
This is easy to use and you can also print "series" of labels, let's say from an Excel list automatically.
I recommend the "endless" tapes. With this, you can choose the length of the Tape as you want and the printer will cut them after the print.
I use this almost every day. We even have labeled our whole warehouse with this.
Therefore we use magnetic pre-cut labels and stuck the printed labels to these, so we can replace them every time we want.
By watching some Videos from you I em sure you will like it!
Printer I use:
Brother QL720NWZG1 , but every other one with this "automatic cutter" will do
Stickers/Tapes we use the most:
Brother DK-22210 Endless 29 mm x 30,48 m made of Paper (we use this a lot!)
Brother DK-22211 Endless 29 mm x 15,24 m made of plastic
Brother DK-11221 Quared with rounded edges 23x23 mad of Paper (super hady for small things, an the roundet edges are cool)
the magnetic labels (pre cut) we used ...

The quality and dedication you put in these videos is comparable to a multi million subs channel.. please do some clickbaiting to attract new people 😂
Well, thank you so much! :))
AGREED
Definitely, brilliant stuff.
I do have one question tho. with the time and effort of printing the boxes, the material costs, the time of manufacture, how much do you think this cart is worth? I'd wager you would struggle to build one of these for a customer for less than $2000 maybe closer to $3000. If you could source similar boxes pre-made then the cost would come down significantly.
@@Adrianyoutubing I found this web site ( www.schallercorporation.com/quick-order/ ) that sells boxes like he printed. That's what I'd do too. 3D printing is better for things like the templates he created, I think.
Excellent build video... Just for printing all them boxes you deserve a million subs
Only thing I would add, old coin drawers had a swept edge to the front of the divider box to make it easier to remove the coins or in your case hardware.
This. Just adding a small fillet in the front of the inside bottom and it makes it very easy to swipe a part out with your finger :)
As nice as they are, they reduce the volume of the container. In this case, it's way easier to just lift it from the drawer and tip a couple out.
@@cabe_bedlam I would sacrifice 5% volume loss for this ease of use.
I built a similar cabinet (a few years ago), but instead of drawers it has rails (mounted at a slight angle), and for the "drawers" I used "EuroPlus Flex" part boxes from a German brand called Allit (similar to Sortimo but cheaper). That way I can pull out each "drawer" (case) and carry it to wherever I need to use it. They come with built-in "buckets" that don't tip over even if you carry the box vertically. It's not as customisable as printing your own (the buckets come in five sizes), but considerably faster and cheaper.
I built something a lot like this a few years ago, mostly for smaller parts. Always interesting to see how other people solve similar problems!
Bravo. I've bought some of those sortimo type boxes but always ended up with too many large boxes. Never thought of printing my own. How many spools of filament did you use for the boxes?
All of them
1x1 Box uses 33g of filament. 1 x 4 Uses 108g of filament. 432 boxes of 1x1 would be just over 14kg of filament. A 36 tray drawer of 1x1 would be 1.2kg of filament.
That was so much work (and I watched the whole thing) I would feel guilty if I didn't give it a thumbs up and a Sub.
8:10 Yup, I've done that. Good times.
I discovered that 2x3 trick filling 8x12 drawers. It’s interesting because it’s a function of the prime factors of the golden ratio. For my boxes I used 2x3 pvc raingutter downspout with 1/2 inch plywood bottoms.
Just bought your plans! not because i really need them... but to support your great work!
I have never seen that thru-colored MDF like that. Anybody know where/if it's widely available in the USA (I'm on the west coast near Seattle).
I just Googled "through colored MDF and came up with a few:
trinityinnovations.net/product/colored-mdf-cut-sheet/
Pretty spendy. 67 bucks for 2' x 4' x 3/4". Ouch. I'll keep using black melamine.
Just saw 100's of hours or 3 months to print the bins, damn.
Incredible, ive been wanting something like this im my shop, how many spools did you go through to print all the boxes?
This is my question as well. How many, and what length of spools?
19:04 amazing dedication to change out the bins on the same drawer with in a camera shot.
The moment that you got me to subscribe to your channel was at 22:28 -/- 22:41 of this video and the build. Build captivated my attention, and sunk the hook with those 13 seconds of self doubt comedy
I thought about 3D printing similar trays, but after doing the math, it ended being more expensive to print than to purchase from a place like Schaller. I'm curious what you estimate the trays cost in filament?
l3viathan000 that's what I thought as well, it's a nice build, but pretty expensive seems to me
@@oogkauwgum5123 Agreed, It looks great, and for drawers that aren't the right dimensions for off-the-shelf trays, it's probably the best route to go.
Each drawer wouldn’t use that much filament and if you buy larger filament rolls you can get PLA for less than $10 per kg. You’d print a fair few boxes for each kg.
I dont know about that, i've put the price when i was using PLA that costed 18 euro / kg and at the end each 1x1 costed me 67 cents (calculated by the slicer), taking into account that im getting 4 pallets of a kilo at 10 euros each the price will get reduced a bit, when I searched on Schaller (apart from it being very costly for people not from the US) each one of them even when bough in bulk doesnt go down 0.8 dollars plus they dont have the tray or the label holder, so I think its quite worth it, especially if you know how to limit test your 3d printer, i'm printing a 1x1 in 2 hours and i could push it going to 100 mm/s (I'm going at 75mm/s) and upgrading to a 0.8 mm nozzle (but i'd have to change quite a bit of components)
Great build!
Did you spec the caster wheels properly?
I've made that mistake once :D
I think we've all made that mistake at least once haha

That's why you have a router table.
Having owned a repair shop for 40 years .THAT'S COOLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!
If a person standardizes the dimensions to an existing transport box, such as the first size you opened and discussed, then in the future if need be, you can take 6 or more boxes out of your drawers, and put them in the enclosure to take to any distant work site. In my case, I have several of the Harbor Freight boxes with a handle embedded that open to many different sizes of internal boxes. Matching those in height in my design will both let me reuse them in the new drawers, but also keep the large boxes to transport a group to a work site (e.g. I'm doing a van conversion).
