Gridfinity - Enhanced Vase Bins (no label flaps) (90 models)

Updates

• 2023-12-01 - Added single corner and half grid bases for even more minimal printing
• 2023-06-09 - Fixed the 1x3x6u, 7u, and 8u bins. The stabilizer “X” were done wrong.
• 2023-02-04 - Original post using the Gridfinity v5 spec

Description

These minimal filament bins will give you plenty of organizing space for very little filament. A 1x1 grid, 6u bin will use just 10.6g of filament, while a 5x5 x 8u is just 107g. 

• 90 vase mode bin models 
• Sizes from 1x1 up to 5x5
• Heights from 3u up to 8u (6u is standard)
• 15 matching bases

These bins are based on vase mode bins with label flaps that I originally posted, initially based on the excellent design by Francesco Iannone. 

Basics

Print the bins in 2 parts: base and the top (bin). Glue the pieces together for a very simple, bin. 

Recommended  slicer settings

Bins

• Vase mode
• Bottom layers: 4
• .4mm nozzle
  • Wall thickness: .8mm
  • Layer height: 
    • .2mm below the upper lip
    • .12mm for the upper lip
• .6mm nozzle
  • Wall thickness: 1.2mm 
  • Layer height:
    • .28mm below the upper lip
    • .2mm for the upper lip

Base

Print in the top-down orientation found in the STL file. This will give you a very clean top and clean magnet holes. 

• ≤15% infill

TIPS

• Faster Bases: Adrian-CrimsonAzure pointed out that for larger bins, you can get away with printing 1x1 bases and then glue them to just the corners of your larger bins. For a 4x4 this means printing just 4 1x1 bases rather than 16 base grid. If you're short on filament or time, this is a great option.
• Top Stability: To make the bin lip more stable, try printing the top of the model (from where the lip starts to the top) at a shorter layer height than the rest of the model. I go from .2 mm to .12 mm with a .4 mm nozzle. Thanks to kevman for this suggestion. 
  • PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer - Use the height range modifier to make this adjustment.
  • Cura - Try enabling Adaptive Layer Height to high quality
