Note this set is too tall for the shorter, top drawers of the Alex unit. See my profile for other heights.
This system of sorting bins is designed around the wide Ikea Alex drawer unit with internal measurements of 60cm x 42cm with a depth of 6cm for the top drawers and 8cm for the bottom drawers. The module size is 6cm x 6cm x 2cm. This gives the drawer a layout of 10 modules x 7 modules. Short drawers have a depth of 3 modules, and tall drawers have a depth of 4 modules.
I recommend using longer bins in the back for visibility since the drawers don't fully open.
This file contains the complete range for the 8cm tall bins. See my profile for the 6cm, 4cm, and 2cm height models.

Note that the 4x4x4 module will not fit on the build plate of a P1 or X1 without interfering with the exclusion area. I have included it for completion sake and for those using other printers.
