I've been experimenting with making Gridfinity-compatible storage cases with transparent lids, so I can see what's inside without opening them.

I wanted to see if I could embed large transparent plastic panels directly into 3D prints. The idea was to pause the printer, insert a 2 mm clear plastic sheet, and let the printer finish around it, without needing any glue.

It took a bit of experimenting to get the fit right, along with the hinges and stacking, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

I made a few different sizes, and they've been really handy for organizing small electronics components and 3D printing parts.

I made a video showing the design and printing process, including a few things that didn't work along the way:

What do you think? Has anyone else tried something similar?

I made these scoop bins because I couldn’t find anything I liked that was really easy to get nuts and bolts out of a bin when I was working on stuff. new to makerworld as well so looking for some feedback as to what sizes people actually use day to day and heights most people like too.

Hi all,

I’ve made a few bins and most of them are basic shapes.

I’m trying to make a bin for my insta360 Ace Pro 2 but struggling to get the shape right.

I’ve tried sites like shapescan but it’s not to accurate for sizing

Im trying to make a 2x3 "shadow box" for this little wurth tool kit that I have and it is kicking my ass because everything that I find is for standard length bits and sockets and this kit has "nano" size sockets and 1/4 bits any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried using the AI tool builder to little success

I know dozens of you liked and downloaded my Footfinity files over the last couple of years, and I've been toying with a V2 that is, I feel, faster to print, more reliable, compatible with half sizes (so a 21mm foot on a 42mm grid) and also customisable once I upload the file so that you can make bins more easily without needing Fusion.

Would a couple people like to run a test print and see?

For the unfamiliar, I got tired of wasting time and filament printing endless feet for boxes that did not need them, so I spent even more time making feet that you simply attach after the print, saving time and filament.

EDIT: For clarity, these are not (currently) designed to be attached to any old thing you want to add feet to. In their current form they are simply a way to print a bin and the feet you NEED rather than the 13 that you don't! I assumed someone had already made feet you could glue to random stuff.

Following up on my Gridfinity caddies for H2 hotends, made some for the it's-still-great X1C! Cute detail - you drop the cables and connectors in first and then they're tucked away and captured by the rest of the hotend.
