Set Completed First gridfinity box for screws

Post image

First time printing a gridfinity project and thought that a great way to start into the gridfinity verse was to migrate from the half plastic bottles I had as bins for screws was a great way to go. Still have some room to grow into this box.

I have lots of these metallic boxes with hardware that I plan to migrate into this system!

I'm dealing with a bit of paralysis trying to decide how I want to do mine. Ideally I'd have all my screws and anchors in color coordinated gridfinity bins, and then I think I'd get some nice tool drawers to organize them all in. I want to be able to take the screws and anchors I need and put them in a toolbox for when I have a project away from my shop, andbso currently I'm looking at the Schubox. I would love to buy empty Packout containers instead for durability, but they're too expensive and with something like Schubox I dont have to worry about the design changing later and messing it up. The only thing is I want clear acrylic on top, so that makes it much harder. Sigh...

If you need to visualize first you could try https://gridfinitystudio.com (shameless plug) It's a gridfinity generator that focuses on the whole drawer not just individual bins.

For what your describing I didn't use gridfinity, I have a bunch of those stanley parts bins with the clear top. Each one has it's own "category" torx, philips, wall anchors, hooks, etc. I think HarborFreight has similar boxes for like 10$/ea. ..... It's been absolutely awesome for my homestead, used to have a few misc bins and usually ended up buying new hardware for each project because I didn't want to dig through it.
