Description
This is a remix of SalsaVerdeByTheGlass's awesome "Rack for BFS - 20 Bin" over on MakerWorld, and is fully compatible with the original design.
This design builds on the original with sizes for 9U and 12U cases.
Use superglue when assembling the two halves of each tier, which connect with dovetail shaped tabs.
I also included some other extras:
I have installed the 6U, 9U and 12U rack tiers, and they work with the similar size Gridfinity Cases (linked below). I built a shelf of 10 tiers using a mix of these racks and the racks from the remix source, and it is very sturdy. My boxes however don't have much in them currently, so I do not know how much weight it will support. I installed the wall clips at the base and also near the top, to help stabilize my 10 tier tall rack (I used the 3M Command Strip versions).
The wall clips will not fully support a rack hung on a wall however. I used the wall clip to help support a tall stack of tiers that was sitting on a shelf. Use your best judgement on how or when to use the wall clips.
I did not test the 4U and 6U extensions, but there was nothing that appeared to interfere and the design for those parts is very simple. Feedback is welcome as always.
Parts:

Additionally, there are some alternate latch parts which may help if you do not have the M3x30mm screws or have difficulty installing the latch “cleat”.
Other stuff:
If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff 20 bin and 25 bin cases (or other 6U tall cases):

Thanks and Acknowledgements:
The models here could not have been made without the work of Zach Freedman, who introduced the world to Gridfinity, and then set it free for everyone to use. These models are not based on direct remixing of Zach' original models, but they are fully compatible, and use the same, or a similar specification for the bin bases, bin lips and base grids, which Zach Freedman developed. Zach Freedman's work is available on Thangs, and you can find examples of his Gridfinity designs here and here, which are available under his MIT license. If you like this model, or want to learn more about Gridfinity, you can check out Zach Freedman's YouTube, or you can support Zach Freedman's work on Patreon (patreon.com/zackfreedman).
And Finally,
If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints.
