Gridfinity Box For Stuff (BFS) - 16/32 BIN 12U (Extra Deep) Version 3.3 Ender3 Size

This is the updated V3.3 Version of the 16 BIN (4x4) 12U Gridfinity Box for Stuff.  

This is designed to fit on an Ender3 size bed (the footprint is 196x214mm).

This is 16 bin version of the 20 bin Gridfinity Box For Stuff. 

See the 20 bin model for printing and assembly suggestions, since this version is the same, just smaller.  I have a build guide on my blog with some tips on assembly.  The instructions are for a case with more features, but it shows how to assemble the latches and hinges.  If you want to run a smaller test print first, before jumping into the larger models, there is a 1x2 version here, which can be used to test fit of the parts on a smaller scale.

It requires the following hardware:

(2) M3 x 12mm SHCS  (these hold the latch “cleats” to the top of the case)
(4) M3 x 20mm SHCS 
(4) M3 x 25mm SHCS  or (2) M3 x 50mm SHCS
(2) M3 x 30mm SHCS
(64) 6x2mm Cylinder Magnets - OPTIONAL
(SHCS = Socket Head Cap Screws)

The only files that are different from the original design, are the parts for the top and bottom (base) of the case.  All latch, label, and handle parts are carried over unchanged from the original (but are included here for convenience).

PETG is recommended for the latches.  A 3MF 7 plate profile  (including 3 alternate plates) with modifiers is included.  It uses the following settings:

• PLA for all parts but the latches, which are set up to use PETG
• 0.4mm X1 Carbon profile
• 3 Walls
• Arachne wall generator 
• 12% gyroid infill (base, modifiers are included which range from 15-25%)
• No Supports
• Brim on several parts including the tops and bottoms of the case.  There is no Brim on the MMU version of the top.
• Several optional multicolor parts.

AMS is not required, but here is how it is set up in the profile:
1 = PLA- Gray
2 = PLA - Blue
3 = PLA - Orange
4 = PLA - White
5 = TPU - White (this is the non-AMS spool on the back)
6 =  PETG - Blue (used for the latches only) 

If printing the gasket version of the base, I recommend that you test that your printer can run TPU without issues first.  The cap of a sharpie is the tool I use to press the TPU gasket into place.  The gasket is not symmetrical so make sure to verify the position before installing it  Start by pressing in the middle of the gasket along all 4 sides, then once it's set in position, press in the corners.  

There are also two versions of the top, one is designed for an MMU/AMS and features the "Unofficial Gridfinity Logo" (or at least the best copy of it I could make of it, since the .svg's did not load correctly from github).  The other version is, you guessed it, plain with no logo, for single color printers. 

Finally, there are three versions of the labels for the front of the case.  The first is designed to be used with 12mm Brother P-Touch (or similar) labels.  The second is a multi-color label using the “Unofficial Gridfinity Logo”.   And finally, there is a plain label included, in case you want to use the slicer tools to add embossed text to it.

The older v2.1 files are included in a folder named "OLD V2-1 16 BIN 12U FILES".
