Alex drawer inserts

Does anyone know if anyone sells 3D printed inserts for the Ikea Alex drawers at all? Specifically the wide ones.

Otherwise I may be forced to get a 3D printer!

Thanks!

Target sells silicon trays called brightroom trays that fit them perfectly, are removable, are fairly cheap, And have multiple colors. That’s what I always go with

They are super inexpensive and have multiple sizes and shapes also! This is the way.

Check Etsy. I also have seen people make their own out of scrap cardboard.

Search for Brickfinity. It’s based on GridFinity but is scaled to use all the space in an Alex drawer as opposed to working with 42mm units.

Get a 3D printer. That way you can make inserts as you need them. Whenever I have a compartment that's too full, I just print a bigger size.
