Description

These are the latest version (v 2.0) of my lidded Gridfiniy bins, with several improvements over the 1st version.  These include the following improvements and new elements:

  • Fully redesigned bins with a more efficient use of material
  • Slightly larger opening for the doors
  • New tab option for the sliding latches
  • New grid option to allow stacking 1x1 bins on the larger 2x and 3x bin models.
  • No supports needed (same as the v1.0 models)
  • Additional bin sizes added

 

Included here are 6 types of Gridfinity bins with latching lids:

 

6U Bins:

  • 2x2 6U
  • 2x3 6U
  • 2x4 6U

9U Bins:

  • 2x2 9U
  • 2x3 9U
  • 2x4 9U

12U Bins:

  • 2x2 12U
  • 2x3 12U
  • 2x4 12U

 

There are 2 options for the lids, one is a plain lid, and the other has a grid, which allows proper stacking for 1x1 bins on top of these bins.

Additionally, there are two latch designs included.  One is a plain latch top, and the other has a flip up tab, which can help with opening the bins (see pics).  

 

This design requires the following hardware:

 

(2) M3x6mm Button Head Cap Screws (BHCS) - or any M3x6 button head screws.

 

If using the lids with the Grid pattern, the following additional hardware is needed:

 

(2-3) M3x6 Flat Head Screws - M3x6 Button Head Cap Screws will also work.

Printing tips:

You can use the included 3MF which has all the models set up on 13 plates, including one multi-color option for the tabbed latches.  If you set the files up in your chosen slicer, then I suggest using the following settings:

  • Arachne wall generator 
  • 15% gyroid infill.
  • PLA for the bases and PETG for the LID, since it has an integrated spring. 
  • I used a textured PEI plate, but if you plan to use P-Touch labels, a smooth plate may work better. 

 

If you print the lids with the grids (to allow stacking 1x1 bins), use the models which have “LID_GRID” in the names.  For example, these are the models needed for the 2x3 bins:

 

LIDDED_BINS-3E_2X3_LID_GRID_A.STL

LIDDED_BINS-3E_2X3_LID_GRID_B.STL

 

The lids with the grid patterns require the additional M3x6 flat head screws.  A couple drops of superglue is also a good idea to bond the grids to the lids.

 

If you print the tabbed latch tops, I recommend using PLA.  You can use the following files:

Single Color:

 

LIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_BOTH.STL

 

Multicolor (load both files together in the slicer to maintain their relationship and answer “yes” to load them as a single object):

 

LIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_A.STL

LIDDED_BINS-3E_LATCH_TOP_B.STL

 

Assembly:

Assembly tips can be found in “Step 6” at the link below:

The doors and hinges are designed so they will be easier to install if the hinges are pushed into place with the door almost closed.

 

 

Other stuff:

 

If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff 20 bin and 25 bin cases (or other 6U tall cases):

  2. 1x1, 1x2 (3 Compartment) and 1x4 (6Compartment) bins with lids (6U) - version 2.1
