EVEN MORE VARIATIONS!! (2024/12/26)

Inspired by feedback, I have uploaded some full length tag area versions for easier pickup & space for embossed text.
Available in all 3 sizes (split-small, small and extra long)


Check out the new renders and STEP files.

REVISED: 

  • Text on tag section
  • Changed corner radius for easier slicing / printing
  • Updated STL & STEP file “Small_Tray_wide tag+text_M3x35

I suggest printing at 0.20 layer height, supports only from build plate, and for text that will be back filled with paint or china marker, turn on ironing to give a clean top surface.

 

UPDATE: Now 3 new designs!

  • Wider Tag
  • Split compartment
  • Extra long (model now fixed)

I love Zach Freedman and his GridFinity System (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5362711) but there is nothing like lockable sealed portable bins that won't spill parts into your nether regions of the shop. Rather than printing a entire case on your own, leave that to the manufacturing giants and just hack their system to bend to your will...

A slightly improved versions of the small parts bins for the Stanley 014725 25-Removable Compartment Professional Organizer. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2346200)

  • I have added 1mm to the height of the box, by making the feet taller, to get a slightly better seal with the cover.
  • The lip has been modified so that the STL and CAD model are now manifold and easier to print.
  • Also added a finger lip to make extracting them from the box easier and can act as label area.
  • More sizes and designs soon…

Printing these standing up with some minor supports painted onto the bottom works pretty well. Easy to remove, and gives a good finish.
