We store a lot of our LEGO bricks in two types of Ikea Containers, the Sanla 11L plastic tub and the Samla 5L plastic tub. They are great value and easily stackable.

Rather than sorting with the LEGO sorting head, I wanted to build a version with more granularity to sort the parts.

We use 5 different sections:
Jumbo, Large, Medium, Small and Tiny

I've uploaded a few alternatives.

Option 1 and 2 can be printed on any 3D printer with a print bed of at least 25 x 21cm. Option 3 needs a larger print bed of ~30cm x 25cm.
 

Option 1: Entirely standalone and can be used without any ikea tubs.
For this option, print all files in the Option 1 - Completely Standalone (Large Bed Printer) folder. 

Option 1b - Completely Standalone (Small Bed Printer)
For this option, print all files in the Option 1b - Completely Standalone (Small Bed Printer) folder. 

Option 2: Fits straight on top of the Ikea Samla 5L tub

For this option, print all files in the Option 1 - Completely Standalone (Large Bed Printer) folder except:

• Tiny

Option 3: Fits straight on top of the Ikea Samla 11L tub.
Note that this option will require a large format printer. In my case, I'm using an Artillery X1 which has a larger print bed.

For this option, print all files in the Option 1: Entirely standalone and can be used without any ikea tubs folder except:

• Small
• Tiny (Optional)Y

Now ALSO print the files found in the Option 3: Fits straight on top of the Ikea Samla 11L tub folder. 

• 4 of the support legs. These are mounted to the Very Small (11L) sorting piece using 4 x M5 10mm Hex screws and 4 x M5 Hex Nuts. 
• Small (Samla) 11L

Printing:
Use supports for printing to allow for the lip . Infill at 15% is fine.
