ShopTek Scale Modular Garage Cabinet Set 1
We are pleased to announce the new SHOPTEK line of Scale Garage Modular Cabinets.
Mix and match, or only print the items you want! This is Set 1, with more on the way. 3D printed projects that are labor intensive can discourage people, so we came up with a design that lets you choose just how detailed you want to make your modular cabinets. You can sand and paint the door faces, or just print them in a different color since they are in the background of most of your pictures anyhow. How deep you dive into this project is completely up to you, but no matter how detailed you decide to make them, they'll make your scale garage way more realistic. We chose the scaling to work with most 1/10 drift & touring cars, scale crawlers, and 7.5" action figures. All cabinets in this series are designed with toe-kick lighting provisions. Since scale garages are used primarily for photos, the cabinet doors are either open or closed depending on how you install them. They can be modified to open by sanding the hinge side edge of the door. We chose to make them stationary for symmetry reasons when they are shut. The hinges are made using 1/16 steel rod. Drop the rod into the holes in the top of the cabinets and cut to length. The scale pegboard under the overhead cabinet uses 1mm piano wire to make your own hooks. The dual overhead cabinet above the workbench even has a recessed area for an led strip light. All cabinets and work benches are designed with at little more mass down low, to help keep them in place in your scale garage diorama. We really tried to make this as realistic and detailed as possible without it becoming a giant time sucking void, rather than a fun DIY item.
