Description

These are an earlier version of bin which do not latch closed. If you are looking for a version that will latch closed, see the links below under the “Other Stuff” section.

These are single compartment 1xY bins in several sizes, and are similar to my Multi Compartment Gridfinity Bins with lids. These bins use a simple filament hinge pin and are available in 3U, 6U and 9U heights. This set includes the following types (see image below):

1x4 (3U, 6U and 9U tall) lidded bin with tab
1x3 (3U, 6U and 9U tall) lidded bin with tab
1x2 (3U, 6U and 9U tall) lidded bin with tab

These have the following features:

These use normal 1.75mm filament for the hinge pins
The covers are intended to prevent the migration of tiny parts between the bins, when used in a case.
Tabs open to 80°
The bins are available in 3U, 6U and 9U heights.
The doors on the bins have room for a 9mm wide Brother P-Touch Label.
3MF set up for single and multicolor printing options.

Assembly info:

For the hinge pins, recommend using a filament which does not become brittle with exposure to moisture. I use PETG, which does absorb some moisture but seems to do better than PLA. I heard that HIPS is not very hydroscopic, but I don't have any of that. It may also help to seal the cut ends of the filament with superglue, since filament seems to absorb the most moisture from cut ends. I don't suspect it's that big of a deal though, unless using PLA, since that stuff will definitely become too brittle to use as a hinge. It can help when installing the filament hinge pins to cut the filament end at an angle, which may make it easier to insert them in the lids (thanks to MagnetDanny for the suggestion).

To assemble the bins:

To install the doors, first remove the integrated support from the pin on the right side of the lid.

Then, install the lid by pushing the integrated pin on the lid into the right side hinge pin hole in the base. Then close the lid, and push a length of filament though the hole on the left side. The filament will go into the lid, and will meet some resistance after 9-10mm. It should be possible to push past the initial resistance by hand, but if not, a small pliers may help to feed the filament past the resistance point. Just be sure to grip the filament close to the hole it is going into, to support it. Once the filament hinge pin is fully seated in the lid, open and close the lid several times. If it does not sit flat, remove the filament, close the lid and re-insert the filament with the lid closed. Once it looks good, gently pull the filament (and lid) back a mm or so, and cut the excess filament flush to the bin. The image below is from the Multi Compartment Lidded Bins, but these work the same way.

Troubleshooting:

If you find the filament is not going into the lids more than a 9-10 mm, remove the lid, and carefully cut the sides of the spring catch as shown in the pic below. That will cut through the single strand of supporting material that holds the catch in place:

Printing:

You can use the included 3MF (BambuStudio) which has all the files set up for printing. There are 4 plates included in the 3MF. Three plates are set up for single color printing, and the other is for multicolor printing. The 3MF is set up for a Bambu X1C with AMS, however it can easily be modified for other printers.

The models here could not have been made without the work of Zach Freedman, who introduced the world to Gridfinity, and then set it free for everyone to use. These models are not based on direct remixing of Zach' original models, but they are fully compatible, and use the same, or a similar specification for the bin bases, bin lips and base grids, which Zach Freedman developed. Zach Freedman's work is available on Thangs, and you can find examples of his Gridfinity designs here and here, which are available under his MIT license.
