Description

Really liked the Parametric Bin tool i found on Printables but there was no parametric support for adding Multiconnect support so I'm painstakingly customizing every bin to support the Multiconnect connectors.

 

Not sure if i just don't understand the fusion360 file but i can't find any parameters to add the connectors. Hopefully this saves someone else the time of having to do this.

 

Currently I only have 100mm Deep Hex Bins uploaded ranging from 50mm-250mm width and 120mm tall, as that's what I'm mostly using.

 

If you need other sizes let me know and I'll add them!

Hi! Just saw this while browsing through multiboard stuff and wanted to drop a comment. I made the parametric bins on printables (https://www.printables.com/model/744258-parametric-vertical-mounted-multiboard-bins) and just thought that these were awesome! I have to ask though are you adding the multiconnect rails manually? I ask because I do have a couple of solutions for that namely a (very buggy) f3d file that adds them on the fly that I haven't uploaded yet and then this: https://www.printables.com/model/746508-multiconnect-adapter which I thought would be an easier fix since i already had a bunch of bins printed before i found out about multiconnect. Anyway do let me know if this helps and if you're interested in that f3d file and I can add it to the original post

That kinda sounds what I'm looking for! I was using the original f3d file and changing the parameters manually using the body from multi-connect as a negative cutout. So i can only change width without needing to re-align the multi-connect bodies in the file.... Definitely not the most efficient way. I seem to have missed the multi-connect adapter when i discovered your parametric bins tool, which i probably would have just used instead of attempting this remix. Currently the biggest issue is that if the bin ends in 5mm they overhang half a multi-board tile on each side where as the ones ending in 0 are correctly aligned with the tiles. Is this your first parametric tool? I want to build something similar except for shelves, any tutorials worth looking into/following?

Replying to @3DFM :
Not sure what you mean by "bins ending in 5mm" but hazarding a guess is that you may have left the widthOffset param to my default when I last uploaded it (i forgot to set all the offset params to zero) that should make it so that the bins fit exactly in the tile width/height/depth settings that you have. I also noticed that the hex pattern on the front of your bins don't extend all the way to the edges. It's a bit buggy but you can change the Hex params (HexRad, HexFrontRows, HexFrontColumns - they might be named differently in the version you have) to get that to cover the front of the bin > Is this your first parametric tool? Yes.. it's a bit unpolished and there are definitely things i'd do differently if I started from scratch again. Like there are things that are easier done in python then just messing around with Fusion360 params and hoping it works. I basically tried to do what "Fusion360 Configurations" does by turning some features on/off based on values in the User Parameters which isn't supported in the free version but you can get away with setting extrudes to 0.00001mm or things like that but it does make the whole file a bit buggy. Doing it in python is WAY easier. So yeah as far as tutorials go, i didn't follow anything specific. Just how to's on making stuff with fusion 360. The biggest thing is to put everything in a parameter. If you measure something out in a sketch or in an extrude and find yourself using a hard value like 0.5 mm or 25mm, instead of using that value open up the parameters menu and slap it onto a user parameter like "width" or "height" and go back to your sketch/extrude/etc. and instead of putting in 25mm just put in "height". The hardest part is getting into the habit of doing it. once you get into that then once you're done with the design then they're just going to be automatically parametric
