I have a wide variety of small hardware (M2–M4 screws, heatset inserts, etc.) that I'd like to print bins for. I've done some initial testing to see what might work better than the cheap plastic bins this hardware typically ships in.

I'm running into a bit of a paradox: the hardware is small and varied, which makes 1-cell bins a natural fit — unless the length or volume of a particular piece necessitates more space. The problem is that with a label shelf on the bin, accessing small parts feels less effortless than I'd like, even with a 14mm finger ramp.

At 6U it often feels like you're fishing parts out by poking at them rather than grabbing them naturally. (For reference, the cheap plastic bins are closer to 5U.)
