2023-09-29 - Stacking lip and label shelf fix

New F3D file (v1.2) uploaded - The label shelf is moved 0.6mm lower (and the stacking lip and the ridge on the side is also that much higher). This is to fix an issue @midnight brought to my attention (thanks for the conversation and testing), namely that the bins were not sitting deep enough and thus when multiples were stacked the whole height was higher than an equivalent high monolithic bin. This issue seems to be present in the original Grdifinity bins by Zack too, thus still keeping the v1.1 version available. Individual model files will be updated later.

Description

This is a bin. A #gridfinity bin. The only special thing is that it has a label holder for a printable label.

Print as you would print any Gridfinity bins. I use 0.4mm nozzle, 0.3 DRAFT profile and 10% infill.

The label is 0.8mm high (0.4mm base, 0.4mm letter and border on top), print it at most at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4 or 0.25mm nozzle. Once printed, let the whole thing cool down to prevent it deforming.

The label has 2 small tabs on the side and the bin has 2 matching slots, insert the label by carefully bending it a bit. The two holes on the sides are there to help to remove the label using a pin or a tip of a blade.

STEP files for the labels are attached.

There is a parametric Fusion360 (F3D) file attached, you can adjust of course the width, the length and the height. On top of these, there are options for the wall thickness, bottom thickness, scoop curve radius, label width (that translates to the label holders total width) the number of divisions within the bin.

I uploaded some sizes I use frequently, the list might get updated as I need new ones. Use the parametric file to configure your own.

For smaller boxes 0.9mm wall thickness (2 walls) might be enough, for bigger ones 1.5mm is recommended (3 walls). This of course depends on the layer adhesion of the material and printer.

File naming

GridfinityBin_XxYxZ_DA_LB_SC

• X is the number of Gridfinity units (42mm) on the X axis (front)
• Y is the number of Gridfinity units (42mm) on the Y axis (sides)
• Y is the number of Gridfinity units (7mm) on the Z axis (height) 
• A is the number of divisions inside the bin
• B is the width of the label in millimeters
• C is the radius of the scoop curve in millimeters

GridfinityBinLabel_XA_B_Blank

• A is the number of Gridfinity units (42mm) on the X axis (adjusted based on the bin's size)
• B is the width of the label (from the parameters)
