3D Gridfinity

In my never ending quest for organization I printed all these gridfinity boxes.  I have a "Home Hardware Store" and have purchased a lot of hardware sets. Metric, SAE, and various specialized screw sets and such.  I have several drawer units, but this allows me to sort and label specific screws, washers and nuts with in the interior bins.  This particular set up is in cases that I can label the case on the outside and take it to the bench.  They do however, have grids that can be put into tool boxes and bins printed for that.  I have found too many great tools over the years and do not have room in my tool boxes for anything other than the tools I have, so I made these outer cases.  There are a bunch of different bins available to be printed.  They even have outer shells that the cases fit in, if you wish.  I must say, while these are nice and I really like them, a roll of filament only really prints one case.  So I have a lot of costs in these cases.
The two boxes pictured were just two examples of the different bin arrangements.  
The boxes are a combination of PETG, PLA but mostly PLA Tough.

Ate they cheaper than systainers? Useful boxes. I have screws and bolts on all sorts of containers 
looking very organized mike.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

i love it GR8 JOB 😍😎👍

Interesting. What are the dimensions? 
Quite the printing bonanza Mike!

Seems you have been busy, hope you sat by and supervised the machine 😎
Amazing how fast you have mastered the process, really great looking set!

Really like the options you have made, so much hardware and so few good options for keeping all those small bits in places where you can find them. Now to do the dirty work of moving it all...
Like the "boxes".   Not sure of the color.

ron you dont like color ?

You sure get a lot out of your 3D printer! Nice project.
Very nice! Great job and a great organizational opportunity!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".


(one per box)...

Great job Moke.... what are the dimensions (printer capacity)?

Do they work similar to 'tainers?  Can you open a box half way down and tilt the top forward?

I've always found that the item I wanted was always on the bottom and if stored in cabinet it was a PITA to get to... that's why I initially hated 'tainers till I discovered these bases... You could use the same concept with 3D printed/wooden mobile bases. 

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
