Hinged lid containers connector bar

<p>Cute little containers with hinged lids become so much more valuable once they can be combined to larger small-part storage systems.</p> <p>You can find the containers and their hinged lids here:<br/> <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/47744-hinged-lid-containers-with-dovetail-connector">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/47744-hinged-lid-containers-with-dovetail-connector</a></p> <p>Now in this post you find a connector bar for 4 containers. There are more bars of different sizes and complete frames for two-dimensional arrays of these containers in the makes, which I will release very soon.</p> <p>The feature that makes these dove-tail based parts so special, is the imprinted flat spring, which makes sure that the containers are held well in place on the bar.</p> <p>Tidy up your small part collections with this storage solution and feel free to share your pictures of your nice and clean parts with us.</p> <p>Stay safe and look out for yourself and others in these difficult times!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The bar is very simple to print in the uploaded orientation. No infill or brim is required. I used a infill modifier to print the dove tail parts with 100% infill and the rest with 15% infill to save time and material. But either way, it's not really critical.</p> <p>I do recommend however that you print this bar from the same material that you printed the containers from. That make sure the container fit perfectly on the bar.</p>
