Large Bins/Trays for Harbor Freight Parts Storage Case

thingiverse

Larger trays fit perfectly inside the Harbor Freight storage cases, offering eight different sizes to suit various needs. Unlike traditional bins that taper downwards, these straight-walled containers provide ample space and stability. To create a seamless print with the bottom of the bin directly on the print bed, I decided to glue the feet in place afterwards using super glue. Fortunately, this approach works just fine without the feet, as long as the lid is closed tightly. The bins remain stationary and don't shift around. I designed a jig to help position the feet accurately, which involves pressing it into the corner of the bin. I then apply a small amount of glue to the foot and press it through the jig onto the bottom of the container (as shown in the photo). It's essential to avoid accidentally gluing the foot to the jig or the jig to the bin. By using this approach, I can stack same-sized bins neatly and register them into the bottom of the parts case. However, I'd like to explore an alternative solution that eliminates the need for a jig altogether. Modifying the bin's design with divots would make it easier to place the feet in the correct position without any issues. Unfortunately, I'm currently struggling to incorporate bridges into my prints, which is hindering my progress. The tolerances when using the jig are quite tight, making the process slightly inconvenient.
