This is my first upload, feedback welcome.

I tried to focus on making it as dense as it could be while still being usable. Even with my meaty fingers I can reach in and grab them without issue.

The slots are labeled with mm sizes (rather than no. 0 etc) and embossed to work with multimaterial printing (which I can't do and is untested, but one could?) or for going over with a paint pen for contrast (what I do). The files are included if you'd like to change the labels to something that suits you better.

Files

The step and stl exported from the freecad file are included. If you'd like the freecad file feel free to ask, I just didn't upload it because I didn't want to figure out how to anonymize it.

Compatibility

My hooks measure about 10mm x 7.6mm at the widest point of the grip, and 132mm long. If your hooks are similar I imagine they will fit.

Uses 2x4 gridfinity footprint and a stacking lip. I personally use Clickbase Refined (https://www.printables.com/model/1487592-clickbase-refined-a-no-magnet-latching-gridfinity) rather than magnets, but magnet holes are present.

To use your preferred base, you may want to consider using: https://gridfinity.tools/rebase/

Which seems neat but which I have not used yet.

The bin is 3U high (+ lip) -- you could cut down the height if you do not want to stack, but 3U was necessary for the hooks to not sit proud in my testing.

Print

Pictured printed in Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA - Matte Beige on a Prusa Core One L with a 0.4HF nozzle at .2mm layer height. Wider photo includes the test prints of other sizes and also in the Cotton White color.

If there's something I wanted to improve on this it would be the seam location and quality -- the seam and deretraction nearby on my print are not ideal. I would experiment with my filament settings and perhaps on manually placing the seam.

AI Use

I made this with the assistance of clankers. I am learning FreeCAD and find it helpful as I work through -- if there are unidiomatic parts of the design or suggestions on improvements I would love to hear it. I personally struggled with some bits like being able to parametrically adjust tolerances combined with things like adding chamfers that required absolute positions. If there are smarter ways to do things like that than what the clanker and I landed on, I would love love love to hear from you.

Orientation

I originally started with vertical organizers before deciding I'd rather them lie flat. I don't think I'm interested in carrying that work forward, but if you are I'm happy to share where I'm at if you message me.

When I was looking for options in this space I didn't find something that matched precisely what I wanted, but including my research here in case it helps anyone else out.

There is this one for standard hooks that is not gridfinity and is vertical, but which you may be interested in

And on Maker World there is this Gridfinity one for standard size hooks that I imagine will work for clover amour but I did not test:

The same maker has a version of it here on printables but it seems to be an earlier version and does not have labels 

And a gridfinity one for an unbranded set of micro crochet hooks. It uses quite a larger footprint and is not stackable though.
