First time here? MODULITH is a 3D-printable modular storage system. See how it works
MODULITH 165 Case - 2W-2H
formerly GEN2
Shows the main printed body in its recommended print orientation - separate pieces (labels, accents) and removable print aids aren't included.
2W-2H decoded: 165 = collection depth class · 2W = 176mm wide · 2H = 112mm installed height
The standard case files print with corner helper disks - print aids you snap off, not part of the finished case. On a compact bed use the no-helper-disk file in the listing; the fit shown here is for that clean file.
| System size | 2W × 2H |
|---|---|
| Installed size | 176 W × 112 H × 165 D mmInstalled size is the space the part occupies in an assembled MODULITH build. Some cases are physically taller than their installed height - the 3mm dovetail on top nests into the unit above. |
| Inside (usable) depth | 151 mm |
| Print footprint | 176 × 165 mm |
| Print estimate | 206 g PLA · 6 h 37 min · 211 g PETG · 7 h 6 minEstimated with a Prusa CORE One, 0.4 mm HF nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height. |

All 18 sizes live in one listing - in it, look for 165-2W-2H in the file list. Same file everywhere it appears; if a kit includes it, either copy works.

Works with this part
What this part needs, takes and mounts with - each link opens the exact size where the size is fixed, otherwise the matching family.
Required to use this part
QuickLock AFREELocks this case to the case, cover, extender, or rail above it - one Left and one Right per case. A bare open-top case is not a supported finished configuration.
Depends on your build
Mount-dependent partners - the Planner settles these once it knows the mount and the bottom row. Open the mount you are building.
Tabletop 3 parts
Printed or adhesive - one or the other, same count, same spots · 6 under a 2W case when it is the only case in the bottom row · Tabletop builds - when this case is the ONLY case in the bottom row (no foot rails); hanging and wall builds use none
TPU FootFREEPrinted TPU feet snap into this case's own underside slots when it is the single case of a tabletop build's bottom row - four per 1W, wider cases share the middle positions. With two or more bottom-row cases the feet go into the lower foot rail instead.
Adhesive rubber feetPURCHASEDAdhesive rubber feet stick to the flat pads around the same underside slots - the unused slot's small interruption is fine. A one-for-one alternative to printed TPU feet: same count, same spots.

165 CoversFREECaps the top row of a tabletop or wall build - the Cover Lower carries the stopper slots and dovetails, the Cover Upper locks over it. Both layers tile across the whole row from 1W and 2W pieces with the seams staggered; the Planner lists the exact set for your layout.
165 Foot RailsFREEConnects the separate cases of a tabletop build's bottom row when there are two or more of them - two interlocking layers under the cases, tiled across the whole row from 1W and 2W pieces with the seams staggered; the lower rail then takes the feet. A single bottom-row case, even a 4W, needs no rail and takes its feet directly. The Planner lists the exact set for your layout.
Wall 2 parts
- 165 CoversFREE
Caps the top row of a tabletop or wall build - the Cover Lower carries the stopper slots and dovetails, the Cover Upper locks over it. Both layers tile across the whole row from 1W and 2W pieces with the seams staggered; the Planner lists the exact set for your layout.
Hangs this case on a wall - modular bracket rails in 1W / 2W / 3W sections, any depth; a smaller case may use part of a wider bracket. Two wood screws per 1W.
Under-table 2 parts
Hangs this case under a desk or bench - the top row slides straight into a 165 rail and lower rows lock on beneath with QuickLocks. Rail sections sit side by side for wider rows; wood screws into the surface.
In an under-table build, joins this case to a case or rail of a DIFFERENT depth - the shallower piece always hangs beneath the deeper one; compress by hand to install, locks in both directions. Tabletop cross-depth builds use Size Adapter Covers instead; wall builds use neither.
Recommended additions
Choose what fills the bay
Same depth, same size - slides straight in. The grip prints in, so there is nothing to assemble and nothing to buy.
Same depth, same size - slides straight in. Takes any Decor faceplate in 2W-2H.
Coming soon - a Decor drawer with a Gridfinity grid in its floor, same outside size.
A same-width Shelf Insert decks this case as an open shelf instead of a drawer bay.
Optional upgrades
Drawer StoppersFREESnap into this case's base to stop the drawer in the unit below from pulling out - one pair per drawer by default, more positions for redundancy.
Magnet InsertsFREEThe case-side half of a magnetic closure clips to this case's back - one pair per 1W column available; 10×2 or 6×2 magnets to match the insert.
Compatible alternatives or customization
Height spacer on top of this case for a taller open bay - stacks to whole heights and takes a case, cover, or rail above with normal QuickLocks. For taller objects and shelves; no standard drawer fits an extended bay.
