Description
How to clear the mess of small parts which are always too big or too small for the container you've got ? Some stuff don't fit into stackable storage bins and needs to be shown and picked up at first sight. Otherhand, most of storage containers cannot be jointed, and those who offers that feature mostly allow it to be jointed in a single direction only.
This quick to be printed Storage Bin System are of various sizes and allows to be jointed together in any shape you like. Just slide-in any hexagon bin to another according to your needs, the free space on your desktop or the shape of your shelf. Enjoy !

Think about a 3D puzzle.
Simply I wanted something simple as that. It took me some time to get the good shape, adjusting the clip radius to get something easy to joint together, and also strong enough to be carried from a desk to another surface.
It's one of my first 3D printing jobs. Since the start I store my heat shrink tubing inside, and it's nice to have small bins to store small offcuts that can be easily picked up. My childs often ask me to print more hexagons for them too. I thought about rework it, but it works fine as it is, so...License:
