I just built 3 sustainer cabinets using the TSO plans. I'm using the SYS AZ drawer sliders to place the sustainers in the cabinets. My question is this. Is there a program that you can put the dimensions of your cabinet and the dimensions of your sustainers to get the best utilization fit of your sustainers(or type of sustainer like entering SYS3 M 112)? I tried searching this section but gave up after the 10th page. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I built two systainer cabinets from the TSO plans. I am not aware of any software to calculate the spacing.
What I did was to build the cabinets, then place the systainers in the cabinet with spacers and figured out which to put the drawers in. This allowed me to try several different combinations.

I remember someone uploaded an Excel calculator for it on here but unfortunately I can't find it anymore.
Either way I'd recommend using a double hole spacing for the System 32, i.e. holes spaced every 16mm instead of every 32mm. That gives you much more flexibility and less wasted space, esp. with the current Systainer³ sizes that don't follow the old height iterations anymore.

Thank you for the responses. Another question I have is on the instruction sheet that came with the AZ drawers. There is a picture in the upper left corner that lists systainer measurements next to a cabinet. Next to each named systainer is the systainer height (example 112) with a + 4 and a symbol after it. Anyone know what that symbol means?
Thank you so much. That finally makes sense.

I built sustainer storage with the SYS-AZ drawers but I spaced my holes every 16mm which was a huge help in optimizing space for the different sizes of Systainers with minimal space being wasted..
