🧰 What Is It?

The GrowTote is a durable, modular garden caddy and tote built for real-world use and a bit of fun! Featuring external hanging bins, a sturdy swappable handle, Multiboard support and even a Stanley Mug holder to stay hydrated on the go! This tote is designed to keep you organized whether you're weeding, pruning, sipping or both! Crafted with makers in mind, it’s structured for practical utility and future expansion, all while being print-friendly and stylish.

🔧 Key Features

• Hexagon Shell for Strength

  Strong yet lightweight thanks to a structural honeycomb design.

• Interior Slide-In Bins

  Keep your tools organized and in place - even while on the go. No more digging around to find that tool!

• Hanging Bings

  Hanging bins mount on the exterior. The tool bin includes a center divider, and the weeding bin gives you an easy drop spot for garden debris!

• Replaceable Handle

  Screw-in design allows for quick replacement if damaged — and leaves room for future handle upgrades currently in development.

• Multiboard Support

  Each wall comes built in with 11 Multiboard T-Bolt threads so you can attach a Multiboard panels in whatever configuration that suite your needs - plus you have a whole library of Multiboard accessories (and growing) to choose from on Thangs.

• Stanley Mug Side Holder

  Mount your mug to the side just like a tool bin. Because hydration (or caffeination) matters while you're out there working.

• Print Test Utilities

  Calibrate your machine before the big print with included tests for threads, hooks, and panels.

  or

These Default Profiles from the Designer (.3mf file) comes with all the required supports. Below is a general breakdown of support requirements using Bambu Studio.
