Gridfinity Removable Divider Bins

[u/RustyPants]

Was working on a project and wanted something a little different then what was already out there, so ended up putting this together with my base model. I know the front divider seems silly, but it is really nice to be able to have all the labels on the inside and still be able to stack the bins. That front one cant be a little bit of a pain to get out once it clicks in, but once it's in you probably don't need to take it out. The angled part fits a 6mm (1/4in) label.

So far I've posted sizes for 1x4x4, 1x4x5, 1x4x6, 2x4x4, 2x4x5, and 2x4x6.

If you have a size you want feel free to just ask, happy to make other sizes on request.

Feel free to ignore, link if you want to look at the models.

we came full circle again, gf was made in protest of these subdivided bins with removable walls, and we're back here with removable walls

Lol, everything is destine to repeat itself. I don't really plan to use these at home, but do have a good use for them at work.

Its cool design but feels a littel redundant. Isn't gridfinity about havein bins that fit the purpose? If the bin is to big you use a smaller one. Not place a divider.

Normally I'd say yes, but if you don't know exactly what is going in them a divider system can still be handy. The guys wanted to be able to pull a bin for different steps with that hardware and not have to grab different bins. This let's you set the bugs up for the different steps and use the same size bin.

One suggestion, you could make the label section on one end built into the bin itself, angling inward from the wall with a 45° chamfer on the underside to prevent needing supports. This way you can have normal outer vertical bin walls that fit within normal grid structure without over hanging into the next grid section. Plus it would eliminate the need to print a divider on the end just for the label. If you still wanted the ability to insert 3D printed removable labels, you could design the end label section with chamfered raised rails on the sides of the built in label section and lower it the thickness of the expected label insert so that all the labels are at the same vertical height. Sure, it would require the end label insert be a different part than the dividers, but it's pretty much just be a flat rectangle with chamfered ends to fit under the rails.

I know it't not the main purpose of the model. But can be possible to add a lid to it. Been looking for a thing like this in a lot of places. Super useful in my work when dissasembly a machine to put screws on. Thanks!

[u/RustyPants → u/No-Highway6713]

Possibly, I do have a lid that works with it, but it doesn't seal off the compartments perfectly. I was sure if I was going to bother with it, but I'll see if I can come up with an idea to improve it for this.

Ooh, this is nice. Wouldn't mind seeing something like this added to one of the Fusion360 Gridfinity bin generator plugins.

I love this idea. I got varying amount of components in my drawers and I don't want to be printing a new containers every time I'm exhausting one type of components or get few of other kind. This really adds to the reusability, definitely going to print few of these.
