This is a remix of https://www.printables.com/model/69393-remix-stackable-tilt-out-storage-bins which is a remix of https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/54707-stackable-tilt-out-storage-bins
The bin is modified to have a window in the front to allow a view of the contents.
I have re-sized the outside box to make it 15% larger to fit the 15% larger resized inner box required to fit the glass insert.
To make a window in the front of the inner box it has been modified to hold either two 25mm (or 26mm) x 75mm (or 76mm) x 1mm microscope slides or one 50mm x 75mm oversized microscope slide. I am using two 25mm x 76mm x 1mm Slides in the pictured prints with light yellow inner boxes. (OPTO-EDU E35.3501 Blank Microscope 72 Slides & 100-Pieces Square Cover Glass, Glass for $7.16 on Amazon Sept. 2023) For the boxes with darker yellow I used Clear Plain Glass Plate, Large Blank Microscope Slides, 50 x 75 mm 2" x 3" amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B52L95VD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
The top part of the front of the inner box is now a separate part, The handle slopes down and is grasped from the bottom instead of the top as the top part of the front is printed upside down to print without support (I use a brim on the new part as the handle sticking out makes it look like it could topple over), It will slide into the grooves in the sides of the inner box and is a tight friction fit with my prints but can be glued in place if desired after the glass is installed. I also increased the height of the back of the inner box as I was having contents fall behind the bin when opening with the low back. I have fit 3-inch-long deck screws into the bin. (I included the .Step File for the Top-handle part of the inner box as that was my design using Onshape).
When using 2 standard microscope slides there will be a visible line in the middle of the window but when the bin is filled it is not very noticeable. I had already ordered the larger slides before I printed the first bin, after printing and testing with the 2 standard slides I thought the single large slide was probably not necessary because it looked fine to me with the 2 standard slides. Some may prefer the larger slides to not have the line.
There is room for a 12mm Label on the front above the handle, I use a P-Touch label maker to make my labels.
Printed on Bambu Labs X1 Carbon – I tried both the PEI Textured Build plate and the Engineering build plate, and both worked fine. I printed with Overture Black and Yellow PETG Filament I also printed the inner bins with inland Yellow PETG (a bit darker and more orange).
I created 9 outer bin files to be able to make square or rectangle sets of blocks of any size with smooth top, bottom and sides as seen in the pictures of the bins with darker yellow inner bins. If you only want to make the outer box with connectors on all four sides, then use the file labeled tilt_box-outer-middle.stl Except for the file for the Outer Middle bin the file name for the other 8 outer bins will indicate which sides are smooth.
