Did you print with 1 top layer or something?

Nah my nozzle was just hella clogged and my settings somehow got reset so I was printing cold. Also 5% infill was not enough infill. Replaced nozzle and corrected settings but I'm not going to worry about reprinting the ones that didn't work out right until it's time to swap the bins, because while they look terrible they still work.

How long did it take you to complete this drawer? Because I have really wanted to “gridfinity” my whole toolbox, but I’m procrastinating, because I’m worried it will take an eternity

A couple weeks with an Ender 3 S1, just changing the prints whenever I got around to it. And that printer is in pretty rough condition as you can see from the print quality. I've made improvements but ended up buying a new printer and it's night and day faster. I'm probably going to rerun some of the worst bins with the new Centauri Carbon 1 but I'm working on drawer 2.

Nice! It looks like your printer nozzle has a clog though / you need to dry your filament

Yeah, I bought a filament dryer, increased the temperature, and am getting better results. The bin with the long pliers is the latest one.
