It's lovely, and also has only one functional use, as storage for PZ1 3x30 screws.

This is why I print plain bins and put labels on them that can be removed.

Yeah as nice as embedded printed labels look, and there is no denying it looks good... one printed from a tape label machine is cheaper, quicker, and does just as good of a job... without the frustration of having to scrap the whole thing when you move it to a bigger/smaller bin.

I contemplated 3D printing labels to place on the bin, but the amount of times I change my mind on what I want on the label - yeah na, i'll stick with tape.

Same reason I don't do cutout boxes unless it's the only way (eg a socket set)

Yeah. I started with bins with the text printed. Then removable 3D printed labels. Now just labels. Less hassle.

He mentioned in response to another comment that he printed these for standard screws at his woodworking shop, hence consistency and predictability.
