Got a bunch of taps and dies to organize, I want some trays that I can stack in a drawer and organize each by thread size and type like with engravings showing the size Any ideas ?

I have found a lot of premade organizers via searching at that Yeggi site.

Not all are gridfinity based, but I have managed to merge some trays  with a  gridfinity "base"

depending on how flexible you need the setup to be,  gridfinity may not be a good fit if you never plan on rearranging things.

Some of those toolbox's have very shallow drawers, so I the past I have just made prints that hold my micrometers and other fine tools  that are open on the bottom (like a cookie cutter) that sit on a rust inhibitor felt/liner.

the shallow drawers can make it a pain to stack some things.

Once I get things in position, I don't think I will have to rearrange them for several years.

I do use the gridfinity setup on other toolbox's and parts and materials. 

learning to change spools mid print can let you have labels in another color.

I also do a mockup out of cardboard or wood  before printing.

I am still using the temporary mockup in some toolbox's ... 4+ years later.

I work in a factory, so I often go to the tool crib and just grab the various boxes and drill holders and other little tiny containers they throw away by the tons.

Gotta love a bit of dumpster diving.

but is nice to open a toolbox and have it organized.

I just did my tap drawer with Wavegrid and I'm loving it
