LEGO Brick Sorting Shaker

prusaprinters

<p>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.</p><p>Rather than sorting with the LEGO sorting head, I wanted to build a version with more granularity to sort the parts.</p><p>We use 6 different sections:<br>Jumbo, Large, Medium, Small, Very Small and Tiny</p><p>I've uploaded a few alternatives.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Option 1: Entirely standalone and can be used without any ikea tubs.</strong><br>For this option, print all files Tiny (Optional) except:</p><ul><li>Support Leg (11L)</li></ul><p>Small (11L). <strong>Option 2: Fits straight on top of the Ikea Samla 5L tub</strong><br><a href="https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/samla-box-with-lid-transparent-s39885749/">https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/samla-box-with-lid-transparent-s39885749/</a><br>For this option, print all files except:</p><p>Support Leg (11L)</p><ul><li>Small (11L).</li></ul><p>Tiny (Optional) <strong>Option 3: Fits straight on top of the Ikea Samla 11L tub.</strong><br>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.<br><a href="https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/samla-box-with-lid-transparent-s19885646/">https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/samla-box-with-lid-transparent-s19885646/</a></p><p>For this option, print all files except:</p><p>Small</p><p>Tiny (Optional)<br>You will also need to print 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. Printing:</p><p>Use supports for printing to allow for the lip . Infill at 15% is fine.</p><p>If you enjoyed this, we'd love you to swing past our LEGO blog - The House of Bricks.</p><p><a href="https://www.casadebricks.com">https://www.casadebricks.com</a><br><br>EDIT: We have now added a revised 8" x 8" print bed version to support a request.</p><h3><strong>Print Settings</strong></h3><p><strong>Printer: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/3D-Printer-Prusa/s?k=3D+Printer+Prusa&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=28c787aef7c5a20cf2004b821dd161bf&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Prusa</a> I3 MK3S+</p><p><strong>Rafts: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Supports</strong>: Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution: </strong>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>15%</p><p><strong>Filament: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=esun+filament&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=ee95e18399f58ca8cf2c8c2b4b912c0c&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">eSun</a> PLA+ Dealers Choice (Any)&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Print Time for each section using the recommended settings:</p><p>Jumbo: ~13 hours ($3.80 AUD)<br>Large: ~ 14.5 hours ($4.30 AUD)<br>Medium: ~ 15.3 hours ($4.60 AUD)<br>Small: ~ 16.3 hours ($4.40 AUD)<br>Very Small: ~ 17 hours ($4.40 AUD)<br>Very Small (11L): ~ 20 hours ($6.00 AUD)<br>Tiny (Optional): ~ 14 hours ($4.85 AUD)<br>Support Legs: ~ 10 mins ($0.05 AUD) (each) - Print 4.</p>
