Gridfinity Bin For Wilton Rolling Pin and Spacers

Introduction

Hello, and thanks for looking at my model!

I live own a three decker which means that even though I own my own home I also live in an apartment. This creates problems for hobbies like model making, scratch building and miniature painting for wargaming due to space constraints. It's fine to spread out when working on a hobby but that stuff needs to be packed away as small as possible when not in use. Milwaukee PACKOUT was the perfect answer to this - mostly. I have changed the stack once as two new pieces came out but it still needed some adjustment to make it perfect for my needs.

At first I was just using some random bins I found at the local dollar store to organize the drawers in my PACKOUT stack. This is less than ideal. The generic bins are not sized to use all the space in a drawer or use the space they take up efficiently. I have recently been going through my PACKOUT drawers and cabinets with Gridfinity and a few other things to make more efficient use of the space in my stack. I am actually starting to look for stuff to put in the drawers that I am organizing as they take up such little space with Gridfinity.

For reference the two drawer PACKOUTs I currently have in my stack are the three drawer PACKOUT 48-22-8447, the one with two of the short drawers on top and one large drawer on bottom. I also have the original three drawer PACKOUT 48-22-8443, the one with three equally sized drawers. I am using these excellent baseplates by @AlvarosK_398057. I used the optional pins when using his plates but I found no need for glue or double sided tape to hold them in. They fit very tight and keep themselves in. 

This model was designed for one of the two slim drawers using @AlvarosK_398057's slim drawer baseplate but it's Gridfinity, you could use this bin in any standard baseplate. This is meant to fit a very common style of rolling pin intended for use in rolling out fondant. I use it to roll out greenstuff putty in a nice uniform sheet to use textured rollers on. The bin is 1 x 6 x 4. It will fit in the four drawer or the top two drawers of the three drawer with two thin drawers and one deep drawer PACKOUTS.

There is no side cutout to stick a finger into to get the handle out because I wanted to limit this to a 1 wide configuration to save as much space as possible. There is just enough extra length in the slot to get a finger under the edge and get it the rolling pin out easily. I also didn't bury the rolling pin as deeply as I could in the bin to make getting it out without a side finger hole. There are two labeled sets of slots for the 1/16" and 1/8" spacers to fit in. The spacers are different widths so they won't fit in the wrong slot. The raised lettering is not set to print in another color because that would just add an abusive amount of time. I didn't do it before I took the photo but I just passed a black sharpie over the top of the text to color mine in and make it easier to see.

Yes, I'm aware this is not the actual Wilton branded one but some of these rollers come with half a dozen different thickness spacers. I really only need 1/16" and 1/8" for modeling so I grabbed this one.

Print Settings:

The 3MF file is set to use Prusa's Generic PLA profile which honestly works pretty good for most PLA filament. Change it to whichever brand profile you use for your filament. Aside from that important settings used were:

Infill Density: 20%

Infill Pattern: Gyroid

Optional Setting: I had an issue printing one of these with a corner lifting even with gluestick. The other one printed fine. I reprinted the one that lifted with a 10mm Brim and it was just fine.

A last Note: A six spacer Gridfinity bin will not fit on the standard Prusa MK4S build plate going straight in either direction. The 3MF file already has the model turned so it will fit the plate.
