–Please note–

If the Thingiverse Customizer is broken you will need OpenSCAD to customize this thing. See below for instructions.

Features added:

-Bins can be half height or one third height to allow for stacking

-Internal compartments can have rounded bottoms

-The feet can be at the edges, inset for stacking, or removed

-The edge radius can be removed. (When printing upside-down the radius did not look good.)

-Rows and / or columns of internal dividers can be removed to create a combination of small and large compartments in the same bin.

Printing settings:

Material: PLA

Hot end: First layer 220c, 2+ layers 210c

Heated Bed: First Layer 70c, second layer 65c, 3+ layer 60c

Bed coating: PrintBite+

Print speed: 3600mm/min (60mm/s)

Layer height: .3mm

2 perimeters, 3 top and bottom solid layers

infill: 100% Lowering the infill percentage did not significantly reduce printing times.

Play around with the wall thickness setting to ensure that the infill is actually printed

In Simplify3D make sure to set “Infill Extrusion Width” to 100%

If the bins have many internal dividers then they can be printed upside-down with no support.

If the bins have large internal compartments then sagging may prevent printing this way.

Under Options you can choose to print the bin as one part or split it into base and upper sections.

The stl files included are just examples of what this customizable thing can produce. I highly encourage you to use the customizer or OpenSCAD to create your own designs.

The Thingiverse Customizer seems to be on the fritz quite often.

Download OpenSCAD for free from https://www.openscad.org/

Download the .scad file from the thing files.

Open the .scad file in OpenSCAD.

From here you can modify the parameters (right side bar).

Render the model and export as .stl and you have a printable part.
