<h2>GRIDFINITY SWAPPABLE LABEL SYSTEM</h2><p>I love the look of printed labels, but I hated re-printing my bins whenever I needed to move my parts to a larger bin. I also hated how difficult it was to find consistent themed icons for all of the different kinds of screws and their drivers.</p><h3>Mix and match screw types and driver types:</h3><figure class="image image_resized image-style-side" style="width: 35.62%"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000446624/design/2024-04-28_0939b6db6508d.jpg"></figure><p>I generated a huge variety of screw types and driver types <strong>and to use them simply add them to your slicer and combine them</strong>, making hundreds of combinations possible!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#39;ve added several print profiles for you to use, but these are just for convenience and you are free to create whatever labels your hardware requires.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Available icons currently in the collection:</h3><p>Screw types:</p><ul><li>Machine screw with round head</li><li>Machine screw with socket head</li><li>Machine screw with pan head</li><li>Machine screw with countersunk head</li><li>Tapping / wood screw with round head</li><li>Tapping / wood screw with socket head</li><li>Tapping / wood screw with pan head</li><li>Tapping / wood screw with countersunk head</li><li>Partially Threaded Machine screw with round head</li><li>Partially Threaded Machine screw with socket head</li><li>Partially Threaded Machine screw with pan head</li><li>Partially Threaded Machine screw with countersunk head</li></ul><p>Driver types:</p><ul><li>Hex</li><li>Phillips</li><li>Phillips + Slot</li><li>Phillips + Square</li><li>Slot</li><li>Square</li><li>Torx / Star</li><li>Triangle</li><li>Security Bit Nub (combine with any driver above)</li></ul><p>Hardware types:</p><ul><li>Nuts</li><li>Washers</li><li>Locking washers</li><li>Threaded inserts</li><li>T-Nuts</li></ul><p>Pre-generated size text:</p><ul><li>M2x[3-75]</li><li>M3x[3-75]</li><li>M4x[3-75]</li><li>M5x[3-75]</li><li>M6x[3-75]</li></ul><h3>Available pre-made bins in the collection:</h3><p>In addition to <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/466168#profileId-375085" rel="nofollow noopener">generating your own click-label bins here</a>, I have packaged pre-made bins with the collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pre-made bins are available in 3U, 4U, 5U, and 6U tall variants:</p><ul><li>1x1</li><li>1x2</li><li>1x3</li><li>2x1</li><li>2x2</li><li>2x3</li><li>3x1</li><li>3x2</li></ul><h3>Compatible with almost any bin using negative volumes</h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000446624/design/2024-04-28_a5952dc038c6e8.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the collection I include a vertical and horizontal negative volume STEP file which you can use in your slicer to carve out the required space for the labels to be placed.</p><h2>Slicer settings:</h2><figure class="image image_resized image-style-side" style="width: 37.58%"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000446624/design/2024-05-01_acad35aed01c28.png"></figure><p>I recommend the following settings in your slicer:</p><ul><li>Brim: Disabled</li><li>Wall Generator: Arachne</li><li>Prime Tower: Optional, but recommended</li><li>Layer Height:<ul><li>0.2mm nozzle: 0.1mm layer heights</li><li>0.4mm nozzle: 0.2mm layer heights</li></ul></li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>How to download the complete collection:</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#39;s not very obvious how to download the .zip file containing all of the .step files needed to create your own labels, so here are some instructions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>Click “Download or Print” and then “Download STL”</strong></p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width: 35.67%"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000446624/design/2024-04-29_d0ec009687599.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>Click the download icon next to “Complete Collection”</strong></p><p style="text-align: center"> </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width: 33.74%"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000446624/design/2024-04-29_bac4b9510395d8.png"></figure><h2>Changelog:</h2><ul><li>v1.0.0 released 2024-04-28<ul><li>Launch release!</li></ul></li><li>v1.1.0 released 2024-05-02<ul><li>Geometry change: Updated label latch.
