Gridfinity 1xY Multi Compartment Lidded Bins with Tabs Version 2.0
prusaprinters
There is an updated Version 2.1 of this model, which uses filament hinges. I recommend trying the filament hinge model over this version, since it is much easier to assemble. You can find the updated version at the link below: https://www.printables.com/model/834174-gridfinity-1xy-multi-compartment-lidded-bins-with This is the 2nd version (v2.0) Gridfinity Bins with lids. All bins are 6U tall and this set includes the following types (see image below):1x4 (6 compartment) lidded bin with tab1x2 (3 compartment) lidded bin with tab1x1 (one compartment) lidded bin with tab The bins included here are similar to the version 1.0, but have the following changes or improvements:Fully redesigned bins from scratchLarger and more robust latch tabsTabs open a bit wider to 80°All versions are now in one upload3MF set up for single and multicolor printing options.The following attributes were carried over from the version 1.0 models:These use a small paperclip as the hinge wire (or a stiff wire which is approximately 0.85mm to 1.05mm diameter).All bins are 6U tallThe covers are intended to prevent the migration of tiny parts between the bins, when used in a case. The doors on the bins have room for a 9mm wide Brother P-Touch Label. Safety and Assembly info: If you make or assemble these, it is at your own risk. Please protect your eyeballs and wear some safety glasses when assembling the door hinges. Clipping the paperclip wires with the side cutters can send the cut ends of the wires flying. If you cannot get the wire installed, STOP and investigate the print, since it should not take a great amount of force to install the wires, and you may have an issue with the print which is blocking the holes for the wire hinge. Do not push too hard on the wire when installing the wire hinges, and always press against a solid surface (not your hand). To assemble the doors, I used a couple medium paperclips (mine had a wire diameter of about 0.85mm and 1.05mm). I first straightened them so they can be used as hinge pins for the doors. The thinner paperclip wires will be easier to assemble, but I was able to use the thicker 1.05mm diameter paperclips. However great care must be taken, especially with the larger paperclip wires, since they require more force to insert thicker wires (I used a pliers to install the larger wires). To avoid a nasty poke if the hinge wire were to burst through the doors or the other side of the bin, if using too much force, do NOT press the hinge wires in place if your hand or other body part is on the other side. The hinge wires do not go all the way through, there is about 1mm of plastic which stops the wire from going through. If you press too hard while installing the wires, it could bust through that 1mm wall, and pop out the other side - and you don't want your hand in the way of that wire, if it were to pop through during installation. To install the doors, the paperclip wire was inserted from one side on the 1x1 and 1x2 bins, and threaded through the doors until it stopped (the wire only feeds from one side of the bin with the hole in it). For the 1x4 bin, the wire goes in through both sides, into each door, until it stops (the wire will only go about 16mm). I used pliers to insert the wires, since they are a snug fit with the holes. A drop of superglue can be used on the end of the wire, however I have not had to use that on my bins. When I installed the wires, I first seated them, and then backed them out a mm before flush cutting them off. Then I would press the wires below the surface of the bins, so they did not protrude. Printing Tips:You can use the included 3MF (BambuStudio) which has all the files set up for printing. If you want to set the files up in your own slicer, here are some tips that may help. Note that the files are not oriented for printing so some parts will need to be rotated to print without supports. If you intend to print the lids in one color, you can use the files named:For the 1x1 single compartment bins:1x1_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_BOTH.stlFor the 1x2 three compartment bins:1x2_3C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_BOTH.stlFor the 1x4 six compartment bins:1x4_6C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_BOTH.stlIf you want to print the tabs in a different color, then use the files listed below (load both together into the slicer together so they maintain their orientation). The tabs use an integrated hinge, so they need to print with the door (so load them into the slicer together). This way they are split into two models (tab and door) for multicolor printing (which makes coloring much simpler in the slicer).For Multicolor printing only:Load these into the slicer together:For the 1x1 single compartment bins:1x1_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID.stl1x1_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_TAB.stlFor the 1x2 three compartment bins:1x2_3C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID.stl1x2_3C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_TAB.stlFor the 1x4 six compartment bins:1x4_6C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID.stl1x4_6C_LIDDED_BIN_v5G_LID_TAB.stlIn Orcaslicer (others should be similar), you can load two or more objects together by dropping them together on the build plate and answering “yes” when it askes if you want to load the files as a single object. Doing this will maintain the orientation of the door and tabs which is required for them to print correctly. 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.
