prusaprinters

These are the latest version (v 2.0) of my lidded Gridfiniy bins, with several improvements over the 1st version.  These include the following improvements and new elements:Fully redesigned bins with a more efficient use of materialSlightly larger opening for the doorsNew tab option for the sliding latchesNo supports needed (same as the v1.0 models)Additional bin sizes addedIncluded here are 6 types of Gridfinity bins with latching lids:6U Bins:1x2 6U1x3 6U1x4 6U9U Bins:1x2 9U1x3 9U1x4 9U12U Bins:1x2 12U1x3 12U1x4 12U There are two latch designs included.  One is a plain latch top, and the other has a flip up tab, which can help with opening the bins (see pics).  This design requires the following hardware:(2) M3x6mm Button Head Cap Screws (BHCS) - or any M3x6 button head screws. Printing tips:You can use the included 3MF which has all the models set up on 10 plates, including one multi-color option for the tabbed latches.  If you set the files up in your chosen slicer, then I suggest using the following settings:Arachne wall generator 15% gyroid infill.PLA for the bases and PETG for the LID, since it has an integrated spring. I used a textured PEI plate, but if you plan to use P-Touch labels, a smooth plate may work better.  If you print the tabbed latch tops, I recommend using PLA.  You can use the following files:Single Color:LIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_BOTH.STLMulticolor (load both files together in the slicer to maintain their relationship and answer “yes” to load them as a single object):LIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_A.STLLIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_B.STL Assembly:Assembly tips can be found in “Step 6” at the link below:https://www.mystoopidstuff.com/bambu-spares-box-build-guide.htmlDue to the lid design, this will not work well if stacking 1x1 bins, on it.The doors and hinges are designed so they will be easier to install if the hinges are pushed into place with the door almost closed.  Other stuff:If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff 20 bin and 25 bin cases (or other 6U tall cases):1x1, 1x2 (3 Compartment) and 1x4 (6Compartment) bins with lids (3U, 6U and 9U) - version 2.11x2, 1x3 and 1x4 single compartment bins with tabbed lids (3U, 6U and 9U) - version 2.11 compartment 2x1 (6U) bin with a magnet pickup tool1x2, 1x3, 1x4 (6U, 9U and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.02x2, 2x3, 2x4 (6U, 9U  and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.03x3, 3x4 (6U, 9U  and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.04x4, 4x5 (6U, 9U  and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.0If you want to check out my other Gridfinity cases, you can find them at the links below:Gridfinity Box For Stuff 20 bin (6U) (updated to v2.3)Gridfinity Box For Stuff 25 bin (6U) (max size for a Bambu X1C/P1S)Gridfinity Box For Stuff 16 bin (6U) (Ender 3 size)Gridfinity Box For Stuff 16 bin - 12U deep version (Ender 3 size)Gridfinity Box For Stuff 2 bin (6U) mini version (can be used to test)Gridfinity Single Watch Case Gridfinity Triple Watch Case If you want to store some small hardware and need some good labeled bins, Ch3vr0n posted some segmented bins for the Gridfinity system here:https://www.printables.com/model/732655-gridfinity-boxes-for-gridfinity-box-for-stuff-20-bThere are currently no authorized sellers of prints of this model or prints of this model.  Thanks and Acknowledgements: The models here could not have been made without the work of Zach Freedman, who introduced the world to Gridfinity, and then set it free for everyone to use.  These models are not based on direct remixing of Zach' original models, but they are fully compatible, and use the same, or a similar specification for the bin bases, bin lips and base grids, which Zach Freedman developed.   Zach Freedman's work is available on Thangs, and you can find examples of his Gridfinity designs here and here, which are available under his MIT license.  If you like this model, or want to learn more about Gridfinity, you can check out Zach Freedman's YouTube, or you can support Zach Freedman's work on Patreon (patreon.com/zackfreedman).  And Finally,If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints. You can find the other things I'm working on at my blog here.  You can also follow me here on Printables or over at MakerWorld, to see what new stuff I post.  If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee using this link:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mystoopidstuffThanks for looking!Changelog:4/11/2024: A 9U tall version of the bins was added.8/23/2024: Updated profile to correct the orientation on one of the plain bin lids.
