<p>Another empty spool project! This design is vertical to support a larger number of small removable bins.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/jEJRSixYPKs"></oembed></figure><p><a href="https://youtu.be/jEJRSixYPKs">https://youtu.be/jEJRSixYPKs</a></p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/TCCuzT0m3fg"></oembed></figure><p><a href="https://youtu.be/TCCuzT0m3fg">https://youtu.be/TCCuzT0m3fg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Printing and Installation Tips</h3><p>The stand is highly recommended since it holds bins in even if a lock fails.</p><p>Print one side of the stand first to make sure all the measurements are correct.</p><p>Not all bolt holes are required, but the stand will be more sturdy if you use all of them.</p><p>Try printing a few test locks to find the correct clearance value.</p><p>Print the latches vertically for strong tabs.</p><p>If the bins don't fit in the spool, make sure they aren't being inserted upside down.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>How do I customize this?</h3><p>This is an <a href="https://openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a> project. OpenSCAD is a script-based modeling software specifically created for projects like this that need to be customizable.</p><p>If you're new to the program, it may look strange at first, but most of the work is just typing values into a form or selecting customization options from a dropdown list. <strong>You do not need to know any programming or write a single line code to use OpenSCAD.</strong></p><p>Once you've entered everything you need, you can export an STL file for printing. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBesMfP7Ddo">Here's a helpful video that walks through the entire process</a>!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Can I sell copies of this?</h3><p>Yes!
