Description

PDF

These bins are inspired by Pred's bins and include the same label shelf. These bins are recreated in build123d and are parametric, I've uploaded 376 variations.  They are easy to print (overhangs and bridges are minimised).
 

They support dividers running along the Y axis and the label shelf is optional:



The magnet holes in the bottom are “gridfinity refined” style and allow the magnet to be inserted from the side (push it in with the blade of a small flathead screwdriver, it can be removed by getting a pin into the gap on the bottom).


 

Bins are organised into folders by size, such as bin_XxY contains bins that are X units by Y units.  The files within each folder have the naming scheme:
bin_XxYxZ_dD-sS.stl or bin_XxYxZ_dD-sS_label.stl for bins without and with labels, .step files are also included.  X, Y, and Z are the length, depth and height in “gridfinity units”. D is the number of divisions (the number of compartments, not walls). S is the radius of the “scoop" at the inner front bottom edge. a scoop makes it easier to remove small items.

I noticed that when I upload thousands of files to printables it doesn't give people a way to download them all in a batch to keep, forever, they probably want to save bandwidth costs. People should be able to keep files and download batches so that I/printables can't take them away one day. So I've uploaded zip files containing all the models, which will cost printables bandwidth AND storage space, but convenience and access are more important. bins.zip contains all the bins that are less than 5 units wide or deep.  bins5.zip contains all the bins that are 5 units wide or deep.

I print these with a 0.4mm nozzle and fairly “normal” settings.  If your printer can bridge about 30mm or print an overhang of 60 degrees it should be fine.  I expect it'll also work well for 0.6 mm nozzles, the wall thickness is 1.2mm - dividing evenly between either 0.4mm or 0.6mm.

I highly recommend the very excellent gflabel program for generating labels including symbols and layout options, be sure to choose “pred” style labels.   Tabs in each side of the label fit in slots in the bin's label shelf.  gfbins was a huge inspiration for my own programs.

These bins are made with my generator https://github.com/PaulBone/gfthings if your magnets are a different size, this is what you need.
