Gridfinity Bins with Slide‑Lock Lid – Ideal for Tiny Parts (PCB Rivets, SMD, Micro Hardware)

These Gridfinity bins are designed specifically for storing very small components such as PCB rivets, SMD parts, tiny screws, inserts, and other micro‑hardware that tends to escape the moment you open a normal container.

The magic is in the slide‑lock lid:
The last ~1.5 mm of travel adds a gentle friction lock, keeping the lid securely closed without clips, hinges, or fragile features. Simple mechanics, reliable function

Features

• Slide‑lock mechanism
  clean friction‑based closing system. No breakable tabs, no moving parts, no supports required.
  Het lid only fits one way.

• Perfectly flat lid surface
  Ideal for multicolor printing, labels, icons, or your own branding.

• Fully customizable lid
  The top surface is intentionally flat so you can easily add:
  text
  size labels
  icons
  your own logo
  using modifiers.

• Great for tiny components
  Designed to prevent micro‑parts from spilling or bouncing out.

• Gridfinity compatible
  Stackable

• Works seamlessly with any Gridfinity setup.

Print Instructions

• Print the lid with the slot facing up
  This ensures the sliding channel prints cleanly and functions smoothly.

• I suggest tree support on baseplate only

• 0.2 mm layer height recommended

• Works great in PLA, PETG, ABS

• Multicolor optional but highly recommended for labels

Why this design?

I wanted a bin that:

• keeps tiny parts contained

• opens and closes smoothly

• supports multicolor labeling

• looks clean and consistent

• and fits into a modular workflow

• This design has become my go‑to solution for micro‑hardware storage.
