There's stuff like this, but I agree with James above. Depending on how many printers you have and how fast it can go you'll probably be printing for several days. The bigger things like big drawers and cabinet will need to be printed in parts, so you'll have to glue and it may compromise on strength and integrity. Plus there's the money you'll spend on filament.

yes inches if 3d printing would cost to much would it be cheeper to build it out of aluminum and have someone cut it out

Did you try uline?

bad idea.

 

between durability of a 3D print, plastic cost, print time, and upkeep of the printer... you can fill a workshop with off the shelf plastic storage containers.

printing an entire set of these that is big enough to contain your common tool accessories.. will be months of print time.

 

just spend that time shopping smart and dealhunting. most online places will absolutely fleece you for these racks, it's one of the few items where you're essentially guaranteed to have a lower price at a tool warehouse. (shipping and all, you know)
