This is an Version 2.1 update to the 2nd version (v2.0) Gridfinity Bins with lids. These bins now use a much simpler filament hinge pin. The bins have been updated to include 3U, 6U and 9U heights, and this set includes the following types (see image below):<ul><li>1x4 (6 compartment) lidded bin with tab</li><li>1x2 (3 compartment) lidded bin with tab</li><li>1x1 (one compartment) lidded bin with tab</li></ul>These have the following features:<ul><li>These use normal 1.75mm filament for the hinge pins</li><li>The covers are intended to prevent the migration of tiny parts between the bins, when used in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/799599-gridfinity-box-for-stuff-bfs-16-bin-version-21-unt" rel="nofollow noopener">case</a>.  </li><li>Tabs open to 80°</li><li>The bins are available in 3U, 6U and 9U heights.</li><li>The doors on the bins have room for a 9mm wide Brother P-Touch Label.</li><li>3MF set up for single and multicolor printing options.</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:54.67%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000416342/design/2024-04-06_15ddda2201002.jpg"></figure><h3> Assembly info:</h3>For the hinge pins, recommend using a filament which does not become brittle with exposure to moisture. I use PETG, which does absorb some moisture but seems to do better than PLA. I heard that HIPS is not very hydroscopic, but I don&#39;t have any of that. It may also help to seal the cut ends of the filament with superglue, since filament seems to absorb the most moisture from cut ends. I don&#39;t suspect it&#39;s that big of a deal though, unless using PLA, since that stuff will definitely become too brittle to use as a hinge.  It can help when installing the filament hinge pins to cut the filament end at an angle, which may make it easier to insert them in the lids (thanks to <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/@MagnetDanny" rel="nofollow noopener">MagnetDanny</a> for the suggestion).&nbsp;To assemble the 1x2 (3 compartment) bins:Insert a length of filament though the bin and then thread it through each of the lids, until it is through all three lids. The filament will extend about 2.6mm into the bin. Test that the bin doors swing open and closed freely, and then trim the excess filament.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:71.43%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000416342/design/2024-04-06_rdk5er357c7i.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;To assemble the 1x1 and 1x4 (6 compartment) bins:To install the doors, first remove the integrated support from the pin on the right side of the lid.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:73.34%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000416342/design/2024-04-06_p61fiknzyy1g.jpg"></figure>Then, install the lid by pushing the integrated pin on the lid into the right side hinge pin hole in the base. Then close the lid, and push a length of filament though the hole on the left side. The filament will go into the lid, and will meet some resistance after 9-10mm. It should be possible to push past the initial resistance by hand, but if not, a small pliers may help to feed the filament past the resistance point. Just be sure to grip the filament close to the hole it is going into, to support it. Once the filament hinge pin is fully seated in the lid, open and close the lid several times. If it does not sit flat, remove the filament, close the lid and re-insert the filament with the lid closed. Once it looks good, gently pull the filament (and lid) back a mm or so, and cut the excess filament flush to the bin.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:73.37%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000416342/design/2024-04-06_4c3gs109xqsu.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>Troubleshooting:</h3>If you find the filament is not going into the lids more than a 9-10 mm, remove the lid, and carefully cut the sides of the spring catch as shown in the pic below. That will cut through the single strand of supporting material that holds the catch in place:<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:76.21%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000416342/design/2024-04-06_v2yh9wug0sxt.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>Printing:</h3>You can use the included 3MF (BambuStudio) which has all the files set up for printing. There are 2 plates included in the 3MF. One is for single color printing, and the other is for multicolor printing. The 3MF is set up for a Bambu X1C with AMS, however it can easily be modified for other printers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Other stuff:&nbsp;If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/710154-gridfinity-box-for-stuff-bfs-20-bin-version-20" rel="nofollow noopener">20 bin </a>and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/719788-gridfinity-25-bin-box-for-stuff-version-20-unteste" rel="nofollow noopener">25 bin </a>cases (or other 6U tall cases):<ol><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/237116#profileId-253187" rel="nofollow noopener">1 compartment 2x1 (3U, 6U, 9U) bin with a magnet pickup tool</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/416342" rel="nofollow noopener">1x1, 1x2 (3 Compartment) and 1x4 (6Compartment) bins with lids (6U) - version 2.1</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/405008" rel="nofollow noopener">1x2, 1x3, 1x4 (6U, 9U and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.0</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/405004" rel="nofollow noopener">2x2, 2x3, 2x4 (6U, 9U and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.0</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/405013" rel="nofollow noopener">3x3, 3x4 (6U, 9U  and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.0</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/443705" rel="nofollow noopener">4x4, 4x5 (6U, 9U and 12U) Lidded Bin for Stuff with Latch Version 2.0</a></li></ol>If you want to check out my other Gridfinity cases, you can find them at the links below:<ol><li>Gridfinity Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/159840#profileId-266789" rel="nofollow noopener">20 bin (6U)</a></li><li>Gridfinity Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/719788-gridfinity-25-bin-box-for-stuff-version-20-unteste" rel="nofollow noopener">25 bin (6U)</a> (max size for a Bambu X1C/P1S)</li><li>Gridfinity Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/386034#profileId-286398" rel="nofollow noopener">16 bin (6U)</a> (Ender 3 size)</li><li>Gridfinity Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/386041#profileId-286401" rel="nofollow noopener">16 bin - 12U deep version</a> (Ender 3 size)</li><li>Gridfinity Box For Stuff <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/389651" rel="nofollow noopener">2 bin (6U)</a> (small test version)</li></ol>If you want to store some small hardware and need some good labeled bins, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/@Ch3vr0n_247401" rel="nofollow noopener">Ch3vr0n</a> posted some segmented bins for the Gridfinity system here: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/732655-gridfinity-boxes-for-gridfinity-box-for-stuff-20-b" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.printables.com/model/732655-gridfinity-boxes-for-gridfinity-box-for-stuff-20-b</a>&nbsp;Thanks to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/@Ch3vr0n_247401" rel="nofollow noopener">Ch3vr0n</a> and everyone who provided feeback on the original Version 1 models.
