Description

UPDATE 4/6/2024:  There is an updated Version 2.1 of this model, which uses filament hinges.  I recommend trying the filament hinge model over this version, since it is much easier to assemble.  You can find the updated version at the link below:

https://makerworld.com/en/models/416342

 

 

 

This is a remix of Ch3vr0n's 6 compartment Gridfinity bin, which adds some covers to the 4x1 bin with 6 slots. Thanks to Ch3vr0n for the 6 bin design, and for the feedback on this design, which helped to improve it!

 

This model is designed to work with the Gridfinity Box For Stuff V2.0, and is 6U high with a 1x4U footprint. The covers are intended to prevent the migration of tiny parts between the bins, when used in the case.

 


Safety and Assembly info:

 

Please protect your eyeballs and wear some safety glasses when assembling the door hinges.  Clipping the paperclip wires with the side cutters can send the cut ends of the wires flying.  If you make or assemble these, it is at your own risk.

 

 If you cannot get the wire installed, STOP and investigate the print, since it should not take a great amount of force to install the wires, and you may have an issue with the print which is blocking the holes for the wire hinge. 

Do not push too hard on the wire when installing the wire hinges, and always press against a solid surface (not your hand).

 

To avoid a nasty poke if the hinge wire were to  burst through the door or other side of the bin, if using too much force, do NOT press the hinge wires in place if your hand or other body part is on the other side.  The hinge wires do not go all the way through the doors, they only go in about 15mm. 

 

To assemble the doors, use a couple large paperclips (mine had a wire diameter of about 1.05mm), and straighten them so they can be used as hinge pins for the doors.  Great care must be taken with the paperclip wires, since they require some force to insert (I used a pliers to install the larger wires).  To install the doors, the paperclip wire was inserted from both sides until it stopped (the wire will only go about 15mm).  Then the wire was backed out the wire about 1mm, and cut flush using diagonal flush cutters (which come with most 3D printers).  I used pliers to insert the wires, since they are a snug fit with the holes.  Note that the wire will not go all the way though the doors, and should be installed in two parts, from each side as shown in the pic below:  

If you intend to print these in one color, you can use the file named:

4x1x6BINS_LIDS_w_TABS.stl

If you want to print the tabs in a different color, then use the files listed below (load both together into the slicer together so they maintain their orientation). The tabs use an integrated hinge, so they need to print with the door (so load them into the slicer together). This way they are split into two models (tab and door) for multicolor printing (which makes coloring much simpler in the slicer).

 

For Multicolor printing only:

Load these into the slicer together:

4x1x6BINS_LIDS_2_COLOR.STL

4x1x6BINS_TABS_2_COLOR.STL

In Orcaslicer (others should be similar), you can load two or more objects together by dropping them together on the build plate and answering “yes” when it askes if you want to load the files as a single object. Doing this will maintain the orientation of the door and tabs which is required for them to print correctly.

 

Note that one door is slightly shorter than the rest. This short door has a small mark on the inside surface, which should help to ID it during assembly. The shorter door installs in the first bin as shown in the pic below:

 

The doors on the bins have room for a 9mm wide Brother P-Touch Label (or smaller).

The STEP file is included, which has all the models used in this design.
