I designed this storage cabinet for organizing SMT components in my workshop. It uses Gridfinity bins with shelves that are a Gridfinity base with magnets.
The design is open source and at https://github.com/chl33/SMD-Gridfinity. I discuss this storage system and some related designs in my blog post about hobbyist PCB assembly with SMT components: https://selectiveappeal.org/posts/smd-assembly/.
The shelf needs to be printed with supports for the drawer-slide guides on the sides.
I printed everything in PETG. I apply a little epoxy to the front of bins to help labels stick. Otherwise the cylindrical shape of printed layers provides little surface area.
I screw M3x5 screws into the bottom of the bins, and press 6x2 neodymium magnets into the spaces for them in the shelves. I find I can make a stack of the magnets, set the stack over the hole, and whack the top of the stack with a rubber mallet to get the magnet to be seated in place. Then move the stack to the next location.
Note that this also works with Gridfinity SMD tape organizer https://www.printables.com/model/1007424-gridfinity-smd-tape-organizer/files using the 3x1 Grifinity base.
