Step by step

Pins first, then the dividers and legs, then the trays bottom to top.

1. 

   Step 1. Print and sort the kit

   Print every part in the list and lay it out. Sort the arms into four long and four short, keep the pins together, and count everything against the list.

   • TeamGraphika prints the Light at 2 walls and 10% infill, and the pins at 0.12 mm layers for strength.
   • 1 x Tray Bottom
   • 2 x Tray Middle
   • 1 x Tray Top
   • 4 x Long arm (Hinge.stl)
   • 4 x Short arm (Hinge.stl)
   • 20 x Barbed pin (Hinge Lock.stl)
   • 2 x Support 4 Tier post
   • 12 x Tray Divider
   • 4 x Tray Cover
   • 4 x Label Lock Attachment and label tile
   • 1 x PegBoard Top tile

   Step 2. Push the pins out from inside every tray

   Take each tray and push a pin out through every hinge hole from inside the tray: barb first, flat side up, until the head sits in the round pocket on the inside wall and the shaft stands out of the tray end. Do both ends of every tray now, before any arm goes on. TeamGraphika's tip: turn the pin slightly sideways as you push.

   • Each tray end has hinge bores 20, 50 and 80 mm from the front, but the Bottom tray has no front bore and the Top tray has no rear bore.
   • The pin's Ø5.0 shaft is a slip fit in the Ø5.2 bore; it goes out through the 2.0 mm wall and the 3.0 mm arm until the barb snaps 2.5 mm proud of the arm, the head in the Ø10.2 x 1.0 mm pocket on the inner wall.
   • Twenty pins in all.
3. 

   Step 3. Drop in the dividers

   Do this now, while the arms are off: once they are on there is no room to get a divider past them. Slide the dividers down into the grooves of every tray, three a tray.

   • Three dividers a tray on a 59.5 mm pitch make four 55.5 mm bays; the groove floor is 1.5 mm up the tray, the floor top 3 mm.
   • Twelve in all.
4. 

   Step 4. Put the legs in the Top tray

   Before you stack anything, turn the Top tray over and push each support post up into its socket in the rear skirt until it stops. The posts face outward, feet toward the back.

   • The Support 4 Tier post is a 205 mm L-section; its 5.0 mm web goes 25 mm up a 5.2 mm slot in the Top tray's rear skirt.
5. 

   Step 5. Start the stack on the Bottom tray

   Stand the Bottom tray front lip toward you. On each end press the short arm and the long arm behind it over the pins, front to back, until the barbs snap through. The arms lean up and back, ready for the next tray.

   • Bottom tray: short arm on Bottom 50 and first Middle 20 (mm from the front); long arm on Bottom 80, first Middle 50 and second Middle 20 (mm from the front)
6. 

   Step 6. Add the first Middle tray

   Lift the first Middle tray onto the arms so its front pins go into the free holes of the arms on both ends. Then press the long arm over the pins at the back of this tray. Keep going up a tray at a time.

   • first Middle tray: long arm on first Middle 80, second Middle 50 and Top 20 (mm from the front)
7. 

   Step 7. Add the second Middle tray

   Lift the second Middle tray onto the arms so its front pins go into the free holes of the arms on both ends. Then press the short arm over the pins at the back of this tray. Keep going up a tray at a time.

   • second Middle tray: short arm on second Middle 80 and Top 50 (mm from the front)
8. 

   Step 8. Set the Top tray on, legs and all

   Lift the Top tray, legs already in, onto the arms: its pins go into the free top holes of the arms on both ends. Stand everything up on the Bottom tray and the two feet. The stand is open.

   • Top tray:
9. 

   Step 9. Fit the labels

   Hook a Label Lock Attachment over a tray's front lip: its bridge sits on the lip, its leg goes down the inside of the wall and its dovetail tongue down the outside. Lower a label tile onto the tongue, socket edge down, until it rests on it; the tile stands above the lip like a sign. One per tray.

   • The key's leg rides the inside of the 3.0 mm front wall; the tile is a 60 mm Label Blank.
10. 

    Step 10. Stand a pegboard in the Top tray

    Slide a pegboard tile down into the slot along the back of the Top tray. It stands up behind the top tier; hang hooks and bins on it.

    • The Top tray's rear slot is 220 x 5.2 x 30 mm, drawn 0.4 mm clear of the tile.

11. Step 11. Cover, fold and carry

    Lay a cover on each tray and swing the stand shut: the trays stack with the arms and pins still on. For carrying, TeamGraphika's handle snaps on a closed stack.

    • Folded, the trays stack 256.4 x 108.2 x 240 mm; the linkage turns 53.13 degrees about the pins.

Up close

• 

  The hinge, up close

  Two arms on one tray end. Every hole has a pin; the barb on the outside is what holds.

• 

  Handle on a folded stand

  TeamGraphika's handle clips over the closed stack for carrying.

• 

  Four stands, one handle

  Folded stands stack; the handle set carries four at once.
