Assortment of Gridfinity bins to store and organize Engineer pliers.

I created the bins to be used with this model: https://www.printables.com/model/543553-gridfinity-storage-box-by-pred-now-parametric 

The bins are all 3 units high.  Their width varies depending on the number of pliers stored.

Gridfinity bins
DimensionNumber of pliers stored
5x4x3u4
4x4x3u3
3x4x3u2
2x4x3u1

 

I tested the bins with the pliers shown below:

 

Other pliers like the one supplied with the Prusa MK3S/+ kit are also fitting.

Material

I printed and tested with PETG for impact resistance.

Other materials like PLA should be just fine too but I haven't tested the model with it.

Supports

I recommend using paint-on supports at each of the unit intersections (the blue “dots”) and using organic supports (I don't know how I could live without organic supports).

Nozzle and Layer Height

Nozzle:

I printed and tested with a 0.4n, a 0.6n should work just fine and will print a bit faster too.

 

Layer Height:

I recommend 0.3mm layer height.

0.2mm layer height worked fine too during testing but it takes significantly longer (12+ hours), and I had some minor adhesion issues in two of the corners after 10 hours.

0.3mm printed much faster (~8 hours) and looked just as fine if not better.

Top fill pattern

Hilbert curves everywhere!  I am a sucker for Hilbert curves, I like the finish it gives on top surfaces instead of the linear finish.  This is totally optional…
